Epigram, or Epitaph? (Why Not Choose Both?)

[beamjockey]

One could make a parlor game, and play all evening, out of inventing possible epitaphs for james_nicoll.* But the man himself uttered one today, and it's priceless:

"I needed at least one more contingency plan than I had."

* If you want to know why, Cally Soukup's primer is a good starting point.
