I think they may be onto something


"Forever in our hearts, until we meet again, cherished memories, known as our brother, father, papa, uncle, friend, and cousin," said Lindsay Owens, daughter of the late Steven Owens.

It may not look like it at first glance, but a headstone on the Warren-Powers Cemetery in Polk County has a hidden message.

"Forever in our hearts, until we meet again, cherished memories, known as our brother, father, papa, uncle, friend, and cousin," said Lindsay Owens, daughter of the late Steven Owens.


If you pay special attention to the headstone, you'll notice that the first letter of each phrase reads 'F--- off.'

It's something that Steven Owens' family members say he often said jokingly.

Forever in our hearts,
Until we meet again,
Cherished memories,
Known as

Our brother,
Father, papa, uncle,
Friend, and cousin

Our family joke is that they allot me 500 fuck you/offs a year. By Aug/Sept, I let them know, I have no fucks left to give.

This is when I miss my s-i-l the most. She would give me her allotment of fucks for a few Tom Collins.
