Read "Puckoon" a book by Mr Spike Milligan. One of the few books that had me laughing aloud many times. It tells of goings on in a wee Irish town during creation of the North South border. Part of the plot involves shenanigans with a corpse. Spike was a renowned comedian and ex WW2 soldier. He wanted "I told you I was ill." inscribed on his tombstone, but graveyard administrators would not allow such levity. So he had it inscribed in Gaelic.
