[nilesfunnies] Fw: The Mortuary

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."
