	A drunk, whilst taking a short cut through the churchyard one night, fell into a newly dug grave.It was a double one so it was very deep and, try as he might, the drunk could not climb out, so he curled up in the corner and went to sleep. A little later another drunk, taking the same short cut, fell in to the same grave. The first drunk, waking and seeing the second trying to climb out of the grave, helpfully tapped him on the shoulder and told him " You won't get out of this grave, mate." But, do you know what, he did!

	.... a Yorkshireman's wife died, and he instructed the monumental mason to inscribe the words "She were thine" on her headstone. When he went to put flowers on the grave, he noticed that the mason had mis-spelled it and put "She were thin". So he phoned the mason and said that he had left the "E" off the inscription, and the mason promised to rectify it. (You all know what's coming here, don't you?) Next time he went to visit the grave, he saw that the inscription now read...."EE, she were thin". Boom boom.
