What I Want On My Tombstone

If I am on a bike and I get run-over by a car, I'd like two things:
  1. On the tombstone, it would say "He wasn't wearing a helmet, but he was wearing his respirator."
  2. The other thing is, and I think I've mentioned it before, but if I am run-over by a car I want the driver's cell phone records supeona'd to see if they were talking or IM'ng at the time.
For any other circumstance, it should say "He finally made it to Purgatory."

"Please avenge my death" would work nicely here too.

This Saturday there was a group of people at the farmer's market with signs that said armageddon & the rapture was going to occur on May 21st, 2011. I think they were from this organization:

If that's the case, I won't have to wait too long, although technically, rapture isn't the death of the physical body as much as it is the disappearance of it.

I don't wear a helmet either. People (coworkers, Mom, etc.) always yell at me for it.

Thanks Amestress. Since the time of this post I've actually started wearing a helmet, but it's a skateboarding helmet which more or less provides the same level of protection as a bike helmet but which looks a little less nerdy. It's not as well-ventilated as a bike helmet, but it seems to work as well for other matters. In Madison you'll see many cyclists using skateboarding helmets, at least until the summer heats up.
