Do you know any jokes that hinge on an alternate meaning of a word? Here's one:
A construction company was clearing and leveling land in preparation for a building, and in the process of turning up earth discovered an oversized, coffin-shaped box. They foreman directed the lid to be pried off, and inside was Beethoven! He was totally surrounded by stacks of books and papers, and with a huge eraser he was madly erasing page after page of hand-written musical scores.
In shock, the foreman cried out, "What are you doing!?!?"
Beethoven calmly replied, "I, my dear sir, am decomposing."

A sacrifice is harder when no one knows you've made it.
