I am told that an Indiana cemetery has a tombstone that is over 100 years old which bears the following epitaph:

"Pause, stranger, when you pass me by. As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, so you will be. So prepare for death and follow me."

An unknown passerby read those words and underneath scratched this reply: "To follow you I'm not content, until I know which way you went!"
