A Canadian man loses his wife.
He goes to the stonemason and asks for a tombstone that says “rest in peace.” A couple of days before the funeral, he comes to check on the stone and sees that it says “Rest in Piece.”
“Sorry,” he says to the mason, “but I meant ‘peace’, with an ‘a’.”
On the eve of the funeral, the mason shows the widower the corrected version of the stone. “I’ve done it with the ‘a’,” he says.
Upon the stone is inscribed, “Rest in Piece, Eh?”
