This is another, quite horridous, Beethovan joke. I don't 
remember from whence it came, nor do I claim authorship. 
Here goes . . .

------------------------------------

It seemed there was a certain young anthropologist who
was obsessed with the idea of locating Beethovan's
body. He spent many long hours doing research in library's trying
to find any reference's that could be used as a clue.
After finding several such references, he began his search...
and it was quite extensive, covering most of the Europian
contenent.

Finally, when he thought all hope had vanished, he came
across a lead which indicated that Beethovan's body was
in a cave somewhere in Switzerland. After several more years
of searching, the anthropologist - an old man by this time -
came across a damp cave high on a mountain in the Swiss
Alps. From deep within the cave, he heard the sound of
papers rustling. Penetrating the darkness, the anthropologist
found, what appeared to be Beethovan...he was sitting on
a rock tearing up sheets of music. 

After the shock subsided, the anthroplogist approached
Beethovan and began to speak...before he could get
a word out, however, Beethovan turned to him and said:
"Don't bother me now, boy...I'm decomposing!"
