Thread: the mortician

A man who just died is delivered to the mortuary wearing an expensive,
expertly tailored black suit. The mortician asked 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 cheque and says, "I don't care what it costs, but
please
have my husband 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 cheque.
"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 just switched the heads."
