Heartless joke du jour 1888
Mr. Mould (the undertaker): I heard some bad news today. A man whom I’ve known for years has just died.
Mrs. Mould (smiles): That ought not to be very bad news for us, Uriah.
Mr. Mould: He was blown up by dynamite, my dear.

Who pass'd, methought, the melancholy flood
With that grim ferryman which poets write of,
Unto the kingdom of perpetual night.
Richard III c. 1591, I. 4. 45
