Just outside the town of Killarney, in Ireland, there is a an old graveyard. There is a tomb there belonging to a much hated local landlord/estate owner. He was buried about 100 years ago.
Shortly after he was buried his tomb was vandalised, no doubt as a protest to his somewhat unpopular behaviour.
Part of the inscription on his headstone once read . .
"for his good deeds and virtues"
Whoever vandalised the tomb took a hammer and chisel to the headstone and with meticulous care and precision, hacked off the the letter "s".
So today the headstone reads
"for his good deed and virtue"
Apparently, even in protest, the locals were still kind hearted enough to give him the benefit of the doubt, and thought that as bad as he was, he must have done something good at some point in his life. So they let him have his one chance.
I think that's one of the best things I've ever heard.
