Having lost her husband, an old lady gave instructions for the wording on the tombstone, the ending to bo "Rest in peace.” In the meantime, her late husband’s will disclosed the fact that she had been treated rather badly. She immediately hurried to the mason and told him to omit the words “Rest in peace.” “I’m sorry,” he replied, “but they have already been carved.” “Very well,” rejoined the old lady, “Just add: ‘Until we met again.’ ”
