As usual, we drove slowly through the graveyard before we actually stopped to take any pictures. When we came up on this stone, Jackson stopped the car and we just sat and stared, open-mouthed. Finally one of us said "That doesn't really say that...does it?"
It does.
The stone marks plots belonging to two families. They list both family names on both sides of the stone. Those with the top name are buried behind the stone. The bottom name are in front. I have some misgivings about posting this, because I don't want to offend anyone. But my better judgment seldom, if ever, prevails in these moments, so, here it is:

I'm watching the Obama speech. "Eight is enough! Eight is enough!" And what the hell was the deal with MSNBC reading half the damn speech before we got to hear Obama give it? That was just wrong. I really like Keith Olberman, but c'mon! He ain't Barak. Chris Matthews really gets on my nerves, but I love Rachel Maddow.
Oh wait, where was I?

Ouch. Damn. That's all I've got.
I got nothing, I'm not sure whether to laugh, cry or send the link out to everyone I know.
It did get a chuckle out of my husband though.
Well then. There ya go, an unfortunate combination of names.
Wow ... that must be a Republican cemetery.
... and you should know better thant to watch MSNBC, quite possibly the worst cable news network on TV. Every one of their "reporters" annoys the hades out of me ...
... and you should probably expect a call from the ACLU or GLAD or whoever ...
You are such a grouch, jonboy. Is there anyone, anywhere, who DOESN'T annoy the hell out of you? :)
(I put the smiley in just to annoy you! Haaaaa!)
oh my... i'm so naughty i laughed. not at well the intention there... but i thought perhaps Gay was the first name and Slaughter the last name... that would be an unfortunate way to go thru life wouldn't it?!
what would make 2 families share a headstone? weird.
Oh.My. I'm trying to think of a third name so we could have law firm.
my my my....
I mean...what else CAN you say?
Ah reminds me of the old dining hall -- Slaughter hall, so appropriately named.
you do find'em, I must say

precisely
but I laughed at bad alice's law firm. :) gay slaughter bath would that work
I don't say this very often, but--OMG!!!
(and shame on jonboy for making me laugh)
MSNBC, the junior high school of news stations. *spits*
How about Gay, Slaughter and Howe for the law firm?
I missed Obama's speech, recited or given. Rats. But watched Biden. Loved him!
And you gotta love McCain's pick of a veep. Just says it all. Buh bye.
Dang,PG beat me to it. Have to think of another name . . .
Let's hope someone in the present generation of that clan will pop for two separate stones to replace that unfortunate one.
I'm thinkin'....
Gay, Slaughter, Righteous
and Howe
