The remains of a man who'd just passed away is delivered to a local
mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit.
The female mortician, who happened to be a blonde, asks the widow
how she would like the body dressed. She points out that the man
does look very good in the black suit he is already wearing.
The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked
his best in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit.
She gives the blonde mortician a blank check and said, "I don't care
what it costs, but please have my husband in a nice blue suit for the
viewing."
The widow returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds
her late husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk
stripe and immediately notices that the suit fits him perfectly.
She said to the mortician, "Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied. You
did an excellent job and I'm very grateful. How much did you spend?"
To her astonishment, the mortician returns the widow's blank check.
"There's no charge," she said.
"No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!"
said the widow.
"Honestly, Ma'am," said the blonde, "It cost nothing. You see, a deceased
gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left
yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if she
minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said it
made no difference as long as he looked nice..."
Pausing, she continued, "So I just switched the heads."
(Bet you didn't see that coming...)
