This is about the Daddiest Dad Joke I could find about a cemetery. And yeah I have told an abbreviated version of it many times.
While we are on the subject, whose idea was it to make the word Abbreviated so blasted long?
When Beethoven passed away, he was buried in a churchyard.
A
couple days later, the town drunk was walking through the cemetery and
heard some strange noise coming from the area where Beethoven was
buried.
Terrified, the drunk ran and got the priest to come and listen to it. The priest bent close to the grave and heard some faint, unrecognizable music coming from the grave.
Frightened, the priest ran and got the town magistrate.
When
the magistrate arrived, he bent his ear to the grave, listened for a
moment, and said, "Ah, yes, that's Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, being
played backwards."
He listened a while longer, and said, "There's
the Eighth Symphony, and it's backwards, too. Most puzzling." So the
magistrate kept listening; "There's the Seventh... the Sixth... the
Fifth..."
Suddenly the realization of what was happening dawned
on the magistrate; he stood up and announced to the crowd that had
gathered in the cemetery, "My fellow citizens, there's nothing to worry
about. It's just Beethoven decomposing."
