She Were Thine
A Yorkshireman’s wife sadly passes away. He decides to have the words ‘She Were Thine’ engraved on her headstone.
He calls the mason, explains what he wants, then goes to see the stone a few days later. He takes one look and, to his horror, finds the mason has engraved ‘She Were Thin’.
He yells: “The blummin’ ‘e’ is missing! Where’s the ‘e’? Tha’s left the blummin’ ‘e’ out lad!”
The mason apologises profusely, and assures the widower it’ll be right on the day.
The day of the funeral comes. The mourners leave the church and head out to the graveyard.
There, in the glow of the winter sun, is the pristine headstone. Upon it inscribed:
“Eeh, She Were Thin.”
