BEETHOVEN JOKE
TWO COLLEGE STUDENTS IN GERMANY READ THAT BEETHOVEN'S
GRAVE HAD BEEN LOCATED, FINALLY. THEY DECIDED TO SEE
IT. WHEN THEY GOT THERE, THEY DECIDED TO DIG UP THE
GRAVE AND SEE WHAT BEETHOVEN LOOKED LIKE. WHEN THEY
OPENED THE TOP OF THE COFFIN, THERE WAS BEETHOVEN,
FURIOUSLY WRITING ON A SLATE, AND ERASING, AND WRITING
SOME MORE, AND ERASING. HE CONTINUED IN THIS MANNER
UNTIL THEY INTERRUPTED HIM AND ASKED WHAT HE WAS
DOING. HE REPLIED, "I'M DECOMPOSING!"
