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

The director asks, "Wouldn't it just be easier to bury him in the black suit that he's wearing?" But the woman insists that it must be a blue suit...and gives him carte blanche 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 then she asks how much it cost.

"Actually, it didn't cost anything," the director replied. "The funniest thing happened. As soon as you left, another corpse was brought in, this one wearing a blue suit. I noticed they were about the same size, and I 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."
