| “ | A man who just died is delivered to a local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit.
The blonde mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the
body dressed. The widow feels that her husband looked his best in blue,
and that she wants.
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,
that fits 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, the blonde mortician replies, "There's no charge."
"No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!" she says.
"Honestly, ma'am," the blonde 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."
