A man who just died is delivered to the
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, the mortician
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 switched the heads." |
