A tourist visiting Vienna was going through a graveyard and all of a sudden he heard music. No one was around so he started to search for the source. He finally located the origin of the music and found that it was coming from a grave with a headstone that read:
Beethoven
1770-1827
He then realized that the music he was hearing is Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and it was being played backwards! He was puzzled and as he left he decided to persuade a friend to return with him to make sure he wasn't losing his mind. When he and his friend returned to the grave, the music had changed. This time they heard the Seventh Symphony, but like the previous music, it too was being played backwards!
Curious, they agreed to consult a music scholar. When they returned with the expert, the Fifth Symphony was being played, backwards! The scholar noticed that according to the men's story the symphonies were being played in the reverse order that they had been composed: the Ninth, the Seventh, then the Fifth.
By the next day, word had spread around the town and a huge crowd had gathered at the grave. They now were listening to the Second Symphony being played backwards. Just then, the graveyard's caretaker came up to the group. He asked the crowd what they were doing and someone asked him if he had an explanation about the music.
"Don't you understand?" the caretaker asked incredulously. "He is decomposing!"
That is funny, I don't care who you are.....
