[nilesfunnies] Yorkshire nostalgia, and the stonemason...

Yorkshire nostalgia, and the stonemason...
A Yorkshireman was burying his deeply religious wife, and asked the mason
for a headstone reading:
"She were Thine"

But when he went to look at it in the yard, it read:

"She were Thin."

"Sorry, Alf" said the widower, "but you'll have to do it again You've left
the 'e' off." "Bugger me, so I have!" said the mason. "Don't worry, I'll
work all night and you'll have it for the funeral."

And so it was. It now read:

"Ee, she were Thin" ...
