The Headstone


The widower from Yorkshire went to the undertaker to check on his wife's headstone, but was horrified when he saw what they had done:

"God, she was thin," it said!

"You idiots," she screamed. "You've left off the 'e'"!!!!!

The manager was mortified. "I'm so sorry," he said. "A genuine mistake, but we'll fix it for the funeral."

Well, on the day, everyone turned up on time, with the husband last to arrive. The moment came to reveal the headstone, and the undertakers proudly removed the shroud. Everyone burst out laughing, but the husband collapsed in tears. On the headstone was carved:

" God, eee she was thin ...."
