Expired

This lady had a great sense of humor. She always used to say that when she died she wanted a parking meter on her grave that says 'Expired.' So her nephew got her one on eBay! Her grave is right by the road so everyone can see it. Many people have stopped to get a chuckle.

Notice that she died on her birthday.

Lord,

Give us a sense of humor.
Give us the grace to see a joke,
To get some humor out of life,
And pass it on to other folk.
The irony of life is that, by the time
you're old enough to know your way
around, you're not going anywhere.
