Fixing The Headstone
Two men were walking home after a Halloween 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 saw an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.

"Those fools!" the old man grumbled. "They misspelled my name!"
