The 'reception' after the funeral was great...
Ironically, the shot was taken with a camera phone, rendering the tombstone illegible.
Hey, THAT'S where I left my old motorola... I knew I left it somewhere.
He/she now gets service everywhere...night and weekend visitations are free.
...GOOD!
I can see it now - MTV's hit new show "Pimp My Tombstone"
He's on hold.
Does the name mean what I think it means?
I heard he died in a car accident. Distracted while talking on the phone.
:)
Some people just love their Star-Tacs a little too much!!
Text me at 7734...
Is that an MPx? Sure looks big enough...
If this is the imprssion that I leave my loved ones when I shuffle of this mortal coil. I have failed as a human being.
that's just wrong
I hope that he is not paying roaming charges
wonder if he/she get unlimited rollover minutes
I'm pretty sure that thing belongs to this guy:

"My signal is dead"
From the READ link:
1. Zero Minutes Remaining
2. IM Me in Hell
3. Gone Roaming
4. Sorry, can't get a signal up here.
5. OK Verizon, try to collect from me NOW!
AWESOME FUNNY STUFF!
That's pretty funny. I'm assuming that's in Israel. My sister works for Motorola over there. I should send her this link.
hey look! the new motorola cell phone!
tomb razr!
I guess cellphones DO cause radiation.
Looks like Verizon's overpriced plans killed him.
Insert generic cell phone joke here
"Press 1 for the gates.
Press 2 for admittence.
Press 3 for the man.
Press 4 for visiting relatives.
Press 5 for "wings and halos service"
Press 6(66) for customer service... and wait on the line, a angel care representative will be with you shortly"
I know I have been on hold for eternaty before...
Dude Dennis, love the site...sad story tho :(
but the voicegravemail sounds cool!
is he "IN"?
What a waste. In 10 years when we are using skin embeded ultra wifi communications, that headstond would look so lame.
P.S. End the occupation. Go back to Russia!
Thanks, Taiwan! Life is tough =( I know we all have our own stuff to deal with...
Another:
"Over my dead body"
Man, this is my favorite catpion article. Sorry if I post too much!
Can you hear me now?
I wanna leave this gravesite, but I get really good wireless reception here. Looks like T-Mobile's really pusing "Talk or Walk."
Let the cell jokes continue...
Pardon me for not getting up. I don't want to lose signal...

This thing rules, it's totally worth it.
When I die, I want my tombstone to resemble an iPod Shuffle, or better yet, a Super Shuffle.
There was a CNN story about a guy in Ghana who made specialized caskets.
There was a coffin in the shape of an Air Canada jet for a pilot.
There was a cellphone as well.
One guy's coffin was in a bottle of wine and another was a giant cigar... which was ironically what killed those blokes.
talking on the phone can be dangerous, isn't ?
:)
A Harvard University study found that drivers talking on cell phones are responsible for approximately 6 percent of car wrecks nationwide each year, killing about 2,600 people and injuring 330,000 others.
The study also found that cell phones are huge resource on the road when it comes to reporting accidents and crimes.
New York is the only state with a complete ban on cell phone use for drivers.
What do you think about drivers using cell phones on the road?
Cheers, Andy
Anyone here know any hebrew? I'm kinda curious as to what the head stone says, not that you can see the leters well enough. cruddy cam
Rest In Peace - NOT!
I still think I got it on my bloggy first, and I think my captions are the funniest, self absorption is my thang!
1) Samsung and now he sings no more.
2) Nokia twice and I will come out.
3) Motorolled over me and I died.
Are you sure it is a phone? It looks like a calc to me.
