"Taking A Shortcut" joke

Two guys were walking home after a party and decided to take a shortcut through the cemetery.
When they reached the middle of the cemetery, they were startled to hear a tap-tap-tapping noise coming from the shadows. Trembling with fear, they discovered an old man with a hammer and chisel, chipping away at one of the headstones.
"Good grief, Mister," one of them said, as he caught his breath, "you darn near scared us to death. What on earth are you doing working here so late at night?"
"Doggone fools!" grumbled the old man. "They misspelled my name!"
