Two men were walking home after a party
and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery
just for laughs. Right in the middle of the cemetery they
were startled by a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the
misty shadows. Trembling with fear, they found an
old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at
one of the headstones.
"Holy cow, Mister," one of them said after catching
his breath,
"You scared us half to death－we thought you were
a ghost!
What are you doing working here so late at night?"
"Those fools! Idiot!" the old man grumbled. "They
misspelled my name!"
