The Grave Digger
My friend was a care taker of a graveyard and one day he was asked to dig a grave. He was asked to dig it that day. So he started digging at once and he had to work by the light of a lantern because it was getting dark. He found a coffin and he rubbed the soil off the name plate. Then he said "I will see who you are" and a voice said "oh will you". The digger ran home as fast as he could and the next morning he wet a man and he told him of the fright he had got. The man told him that it was he spoke the night before and they had a great laugh.
