The Quip

There was standing room only on this streetcar in Munich, Germany. In the back near the exit stood two gravediggers, clad in black, mud encrusted overcoats. They were on their way home after the day’s work in the cemetery. An older gentleman had rung for a stop and was working his way toward the exit. In his opinion the two men were taking up too much room. As he finally got off he muttered something like ‘‘apparitions like these should not even allowed on the tram.’’ To which one of the men quipped:  ”Don’t get excited, little man. We will get you too in the end.’’
