Old Maid
-------------------------
In a tiny village lived an old maid. In spite of her old age, she was
still a virgin. She was very proud of it. She knew her last days were
getting closer, so she told the local undertaker that she wanted the
following inscription on her tombstone:
"Born as a virgin, lived as a virgin, died as a virgin"
Not long after, the old maid died peacefully. The undertaker, true to
his word, instructed his men to inscribe on the tombstone what the
lady had requested. The men went to carve it, but as they were lazy
and it was close to quitting time, they decided the inscription was
unnecessarily long. So they simply carved:
"Returned unopened."
