A man who'd just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive,
expertly tailored black suit.
The female blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the
body dressed. She points out that the man does look 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 says, "I don't care what it costs, but please have my husband
in a blue suit for the viewing."
The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her
husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe; 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 blonde mortician presents her with the blank check.
"There's no charge," she replied.
"No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!" said
the widow.
"Honestly, ma'am," the blonde said, "it cost nothing. You see, another deceased
gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left here
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. So I just switched the heads."
(BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!)
