Funeral Statement

Two brothers were the most wicked scoundrels
in this small rural village.

Upon the death of one of the brothers,
the surviving brother engaged a preacher.

He wanted the preacher to say his brother was a saint.

After much discussion, the preacher agreed
and at the end of the funeral made this statement:

"This man, lying here, was a scoundrel,
but compared to his brother he was a saint
."
