Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Subject: A GRAVE SITUATION!

My jokes get worse, only trying to join the RR club

PUN INTENDED!


A tourist in Vienna is going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he hears music. No one is around, so he starts searching for the source. He finally locates the origin and finds it is coming from a grave with a headstone that reads "Ludwig van Beethoven, 1770-1827". Then he realizes that the music is the Ninth Symphony and it is being played backward!


Puzzled, he leaves the graveyard and persuades a friend to return with him. By the time they arrive back at the grave, the music has changed. This time it is the Eighth Symphony, but like the previous piece, it is being played backward.


Curious, the men agree to consult a music scholar. When they return with the expert, the Seventh Symphony is playing, again backward.


The expert notices that the symphonies are being played in the reverse order in which they were composed, the 9th, then the 8th, then the 7th.


By the next day the word has spread and a crowd has gathered around the grave. They listened to the 6th, 5th, 4th Symphony being played backward. Just then the graveyard's caretaker ambles up to the group.


Someone in the group asks him if he has an explanation for the music.


"I would have thought it was obvious" the caretaker says.







"He's decomposing."
