The Blue Suit
A woman whose husband had just passed away was trying very hard to maintain her composure when she went to
the mortuary to see her dearly departed husband for a few moments before the funeral which was to be the following day.
The instant she saw him, though, she totally lost it and started wailing and carrying on inconsolably.
The manager of the mortuary rushed up to comfort her. "My dear madam, what has disturbed you so?" he asked.
Between sobs and gasps and hiccups she managed to say, "It's my husband! He's wearing a black suit!
He never wore a black suit in his life and he absolutely MUST be buried in a blue suit!"
The manager said, "I'm so very sorry, madam. We always put the bodies in black suits as a matter of course
but come back tomorrow and I'll see what I can do."
The next day the woman returned to the mortuary to have one last private moment with her husband before the funeral.
When the manager showed her into the chapel and pulled back the curtain, the woman managed to smile through her
tears as she saw her beloved husband wearing a beautiful blue suit. She asked the manager, "How did you
manage to find such a beautiful blue suit?"
The manager said, "Well, yesterday afternoon after you left, a man about your husband's size was brought in and he was wearing this blue
suit that you see. The man's wife explained that she was very upset as he had died wearing his blue suit but he had
always wanted to be buried in a black suit. After that, it was simply a matter of swapping the heads
around."
