In a tiny village lived an old maid. In spite of her old age, she
was still a virgin. She was very proud of it. She knew her last
days were getting closer, so she told the local undertaker that
she wanted the following inscription on her tombstone:

"Born as a virgin, lived as a virgin, died as a virgin"

Not long after, the old maid died peacefully, and the undertaker
told his men what the lady had said. The men went to carve it
in, but as the lazy no-goods they were, they thought the
inscription to be unnecessarily long.

They simply wrote:

"Returned unopened"
