Title: Hilarious monument.

***WARNING***

If easily offended then dont look!

Saw this while searching the net about headstone inscriptions. How much would you have to hate someone to do this to them!

Yes, it's in Mt Royal Cemetery in Montreal. John's ex-wife and ex-girlfriend got the last word, evidently ;D

Or the last two words... ;D

It's real. Except it's in Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery, not Mt Royal as I thought. Here's the "mythbuster" analysis:

According to the article, it was his ex-wife and mistress who ordered the stone.

I think that probably explains it  :D
