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 the lazy no-goods they were, they thought the inscription to be unnecessarily long.
They simply wrote: “Returned unopened.”
