A Blue Suit

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 and dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle
chalk stripe. The suit fits him perfectly. She says to Bubba, “What-
ever 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 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,” he told her, “I just switched the heads.”
