A man who just died is delivered to a mortuary wearing an
expensive, expertly tailored black suit.
The mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body
dressed. He 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 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 says 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, he presents her with the blank check.
"There's no charge," he says.
"No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue
suit!" she says.
"Honestly, ma'am," the mortician says, "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."
"So I just switched the heads."
