Question of the Day

[ayoub]

What would you like to be your legacy?

To elaborate...

That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
~ Walt Whitman

What do you want your verse to be? In prose, or just in words...

Thank you everyone for your answers in these QotD posts of mine :D

I want to be remembered as a court jester: wacky and witty, but wise. A person can be self-deprecating for another's good humor and still be wise enough to not only know shit from Shinola, but can also be wise enough to make his japes appreciated by all folks, regardless of their education or sophistication. When I die, I want to be cremated straight away with no delay so that people can party and laugh over my wacky doings! I do not wish to be mourned ever! I would rather be celebrated and laughed at. I want the tears to be of laughter, not sorrow. I am not mourned in life and I shall not suffer being mourned upon my passing! Why? BECAUSE IT'S NOT FUCKING FUNNY! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

So when I die, laugh, roast me, reminisce upon my jibes, japes and horrendous puns (there's a shit-ton of them [a shit-ton is like a metric ton, only completely not]). Remember: The cloud might not have a silver lining, but doesn't it strangely look like Hitler with a penis in his mouth? I want people to find humor in anything, even the grave and sad, so that they can at least laugh when things aren't so great. Maybe that can help them be happy from time to time.

That's the legacy that I want to leave.

"I'm Giacomo, Giacomo, my fame before me rings,
King of jesters, and jester of kings!"
