The Creative Mortician

[rickstef]

A man who'd just died is delivered to a local mortuary and he's wearing an expensive, expertly tailored black suit.

The mortician asks the deceased's wife how she would like the body dressed, pointing out that he does look good in the black suit he is already wearing.
The wife, 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."

She returns the next day and 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.'
"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 just switched the heads."

That is really sick, I like it.

Oh that's so wrong ! (But so right at the same time ).

Good one. The sicker, the better.

I like it, but it makes me wonder why my Golden phone thread was removed?
I was typing in the final punch line when the thread got binned.

That was truly awful. It was so bad I had to laugh. Got any more like that?

I presume you mean the mortician one Elliot, not the golden phone. I never got to finish that one.
