An old man died and was delivered to the local mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit.
The mortician asked 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, said that she always thought her husband looked his best in blue, and that she wanted him in a blue suit.
She gave the mortician a blank check and said, “I don’t care what it costs, but please have my husband in a blue suit for the viewing.”
The woman returned the next day and to her delight, she found her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe; the suit fitted him perfectly.
She said 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 presented her with the blank check, “There’s no charge.”
“No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit,” she said.
“Honestly, ma’am,” the mortician said, “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.”
