The Blue Suit...
A man who had just recently died is delivered to the mortuary wearing an rather expensive and expertly tailored black suit. The mortician asked the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed. He points out that the man certainly 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 see that my husband is 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 widow is most pleased and seeks out the director of the home.
Upon finding the mortician up front, she says to the him, "Whatever this cost, I am very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I'm very grateful. How much did you spend?"
"Oh, don't worry about it. There's no charge," he says. And to her astonishment, the mortician presents her back with the blank check.
"No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!" she rebuffs.
"Honestly, ma'am," the mortician says, "it cost us 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."
