FIRST GRAVEDIGGER: What is he that builds stronger than either the mason, the shipwright, or the carpenter?
SECOND GRAVEDIGGER: The gallows-maker; for that frame outlives a thousand tenants.

– William Shakespeare

Hamlet, Act 5, Scene 1. A little black comedy from the two gravediggers, who play the part of the fools in Hamlet. Here one mischievously asks the other a riddle on the theme of death.
