A man who 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 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 presents her with the blank
check.
'There's no charge,' she says.
'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.'
(BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT ONE COMING!!!)
