This woman goes into a funeral home to make
arrangements for her husband's funeral. She tells
the director that she wants her husband to be
buried in a dark blue suit.

He asks, "Wouldn't it just be easier to bury him in
the black suit that he's wearing?" But she insists
that it must be a blue suit and gives him a blank
check to buy one.

When she comes back for the wake, she sees her
husband in the coffin and he is wearing a beautiful
blue suit. She tells the director how much she
loves the suit and asks how much it cost.

He says, "Actually, it didn't cost anything. The
funniest thing happened. As soon as you left,
another corpse was brought in, this one wearing a
blue suit. I noticed that they were about the same
size, and asked the other widow if she would mind
if her husband were buried in a black suit. She
said that was fine with her. So... I switched the
heads"
