Ladies and gentlemen:
After Mozart's death, in 1791, his wife Constanza moved to Copenhagen and married Georg Nissen. They had a good life together. When Nissen died, Constanza had his tombstone inscribed:
"Here rests Mozart's widow's second spouse."
Go figure.
From Obie's Opus by Obie Yadgar.

Haha! Now that really is irony!
It reminds me of another story that Spike Milligan, a famous English comedian, had "I told you I was ill." inscribed on his gravestone.
He did have to have it done in Gaelic though, in order to comply with the Churchs wishes.
IIRC W.C. Fields gravestone is inscribed,"I'd rather be living in Philadelphia." :)
Not ironic but funny just the same is a headstone in Tombstone Arizona which reads," Here lies Les Moore, shot 4 times with a .44, No less, no more.
That is hilarious Obie :roflmao
PS: I wonder what the inscription on Constanza's tombstone says?
Are you certain that she is dead? I think that I may have encountered her at work yesterday.Quote:

Also, your encounter is easily explained by the fact that you teach history (or herstory in this case)
