Boo to you, Heraldites!
As we approach All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day and All Souls Day, I dug up this joke from the Catholic Standard’s newspaper in 1872 via the interwebs: Why is a coffin like the dull edge of an axe? Because it has to be ground before it is used. I bet your howling with laughter!
