A man who’d just died is delivered to a
local mortuary and he’s wearing an
expensive, expertly tailored black suit.
The mortician asks the deceased’s wife
how she would like the body dressed,
pointing 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 and 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 mortician
presents her with the blank check,
‘There’s no charge.’
‘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.’ …read more
