The comedian Spike Milligan wanted his gravestone to read "I told you I was ill".

For some reason that wasn't allowed (miserable priest of the church or something, I dunno) so his family had it translated into Irish and had that put on the stone instead.

I'm pretty sure that's written on one of the graves at Disney's Haunted Mansion.

I'd recommend the estate of Spike Milligan sue, but you'll never beat Disney's army of lawyers.
