A man who just died is delivered to a Kentucky
mortuary wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black
suit. Bubba the mortician asks the deceased's wife how
she would like the body dressed.???
He points out that the man does look very 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 Bubba 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 viewing. 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 Bubba, "Whatever the cost, I'm
very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I'm very
grateful. How much did you spend?"
To her astonishment, Bubba presents her with the blank
check. "Dere's no charge," he says.
"No, really, I must pay you for the cost of that exquisite
blue suit!"
"Honestly, ma'am,"Bubba says, "it didn't cost me a ting.
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 missus 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...!"
