A man who had just died was delivered to a Kentucky mortuary
wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit. Bubba
the mortician asked the deceased's wife how she would like
the body dressed. He pointed out that the man looked very
good in the black suit he was already wearing.
The widow, however, said that she always thought her husband
looked his best in blue, so she wanted him in a blue suit.
She gave Bubba 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 for the viewing. To her
delight she found her husband dressed in a gorgeous blue
suit with a subtle chalk stripe; the suit fit him perfectly.
She said 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 returned the blank check to her.
"There's no charge," he said.
"No, really, I must pay you for the cost of that exquisite
blue suit!" she said.
"Honestly, ma'am," Bubba said, "it didn't cost me a thing.
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."
