died as a virgin

In a tiny village lived an old maid. In spite of her old age, she was
still a virgin. She was very proud of it. She knew her last days were
getting closer, so she told the local undertaker that she wanted the
following inscription on her tombstone:

"Born as a virgin, lived as a virgin, died as a virgin"

Not long after, the old maid died peacefully, and the undertaker told
his men what the lady had said. The men went to carve it in, but as
the lazy no- goods they were, they thought the inscription to be
unnecessarily long. They simply wrote:

"Returned unopened"
