A man who just died is delivered to a Tallahassee
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!" she says.
"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."
