An Honest Mortician Options

[maxnmike]

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."
