Live fast, die young, and leave a good looking copse.

Wow. Best joke I've seen this week at least

It is also a very old one.

Did you read 'copse' as 'corpse', or is this really a common joke?

I did. I am not a native language speaker, so I did not notice the difference.

The original version is old, but I've never seen the pun with "copse"

Have your upvote and get out ;)
