    A man who is researching his own genealogy, is searching for the grave of his long lost but famous uncle. On arrival at the cemetery, he is dismayed to find that the layout has been rationalized and all the older untended gravestones has been moved to form a neat grid pattern to one side. After much searching in vain, one of the graveyard staff approaches him to see if he can be of any help. "Yes, I'm looking for the grave of an uncle of mine. I'm told that the headstone makes some mention of the fact that he invented the cryptic crossword". "Oh that one!" says the assistant, "that's easy to find. It's twelve down and fifteen across"

    It’s always a pleasure to help when your efforts are appreciated...

        Nothing wrong with digging up the occasional relic, just make sure no one finds out

        If my jokes make me laugh, then I have already succeeded with 100% of my target audience

                It is quite good isn't it. I remember thinking that, last time I read it in The Lounge. :-D

                Henry Minute Do not read medical books! You could die of a misprint. - Mark Twain Girl: (staring) "Why do you need an icy cucumber?" “I want to report a fraud. The government is lying to us all.” I wouldn't let CG touch my Abacus! When you're wrestling a gorilla, you don't stop when you're tired, you stop when the gorilla is.
