There's a similar one with a Yorkshire twist.

A lady died and her husband asked the stone mason to put under her name:

"She was Thine."

When the headstone was delivered it instead bore the words:

"She was Thin."

Exasperated, her husband phoned the stone mason and told him he had missed out an "E" and to collect it and correct it.

The stone mason duly collected the headstone and brought it back the next day.

Certainly he had added an "E" but in the wrong place...

It now read "E, she was Thin."
