A widow takes a look at her dear departed
husband before the funeral and, to her horror, finds that he's in his
brown suit. She'd specifically said to the undertaker that she wanted
him buried in his blue suit; she'd brought it especially for that occasion,
and she was distressed that the mortician had left him in the same brown
suit he'd been wearing when the lightning bolt hit him. She demanded that
the corpse be changed into the blue suit she'd brought especially for that
purpose. The undertaker said, "But madam! It's only a minute or two until
the funeral is scheduled to begin! We can't possibly take him out and get
him changed in that amount of time.
The lady said, "Who's paying for this?"
Seeing the logic to this argument, a very reluctant mortician wheeled
the coffin out, but then wheeled it right back in a moment later.
Miraculously, the corpse was in a blue suit.
After the ceremony, a well-satisfied widow complimented the undertaker
on the smooth and speedy service. She especially wanted to know how he'd
been able to get her husband into a blue suit so fast.
The funeral director said, "Oh, it was easy. It happens that there was
another body in the back room and he was already dressed in a blue suit.
All we had to do was switch heads."
