Thanks John Bob Looney! I have asked Jeanie to have me in a blue blazer.
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 just switched the heads."
