Bonus: If your last text message went on your headstone, what would it say?
Not too long ago the Twitterverse had some fun with this question: If your last text message went on your headstone, what would it say?
The question appears to be first pondered by comic artist Dan McDaid, who tweeted:
Bad news: the last text you sent is what’s going on your headstone
— Dan McDaid (@danmcdaid)
He immediately responded to his own tweet: Mine is “…I’ll be up shortly”, which is optimistic to say the least
Fans quickly responded with macabre glee, and the trend spread. Here are some of the best from thousands of responses.
BTW, mine was (and I seriously did not plan this)… “Looking forward to when you guys come visit!!”

“A nap sounds amazing rn”
