Fixing the Headstone

Once, there were two men walking home after a Halloween party. They 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!” the old man grumbled. “They misspelled my name!”
