The Coffee Place's Joke Stack
A man who traveled a great deal in his work had the odd hobby of frequenting cemeteries in his spare time. He had been to cemeteries all over the world and always with the same hope that he would discover the lost tomb of some famous person. While in Europe, he found a very old and ivy covered mausoleum. It had a moss encrusted name plate which he quickly began to scrape at with his pen knife. B...E...E...T...H... "Could it be?" he asked himself. Sure enough, it was the tomb of Beethoven. Though he knew he shouldn't, he couldn't resist opening the creaky, rusted iron door and peeking inside. In the chamber sat a very small, shriveled, gray haired man, sitting at a desk, paper in front of him, erasing furiously.
"What are you doing?" our awed explorer asked.
The old man didn't pause as he replied, "I'm decomposing."
