The mad groundskeeper at a cemetary realized he had run out of plots to sell. As a solution, he contrived to dig up a tract of graves that were all over 200 years old. Since no one visited those graves, it seemed like no one would be the wiser.

But what to do with the exhumed contents of the graves? Cleverly, the groundskeeper stacked up all the coffins and advertised them as free to anyone who could haul them away.

On the day of the big event, a passing sheriff noticed an unusual amount of foot traffic at the graveyard. He politely asked one man in the process of carting off a remarkably well-preserved, long pine box if he'd mind explaining what was going on. The law enforcer found the story interesting and opened the box. Both men were horrified to discover the remnants of a rotting corpse still inside!

The groundskeeper had actually neglected to dispose of the decrepit remains! Everyone was getting cadavers already included with their free coffins!

Disgusted, the lawman found his way to the front of the line and crossed his arms authoritatively. The groundskeeper immediately realized the game was up and asked how he'd been found out.

Quote the sheriff: "All these people spending their Saturday at a cemetary? It's a DEAD GIVEAWAY!"
