Subject: Death Duties
Dorothy is very upset as her husband Albert had just passed away.
She goes to the mortuary to look at her dearly departed. The instant she sees
him she starts wailing and crying. One of the attendants rushes up to comfort
her. Through her tears, she explains that she is upset because Albert was
wearing a black suit and that it was his dying wish to be buried in a blue
suit. The attendant apologizes and explains that they alwaysput the bodies in
a black suit as a matter of course, but he'd see what he could do.
The next day Dorothy returns to the mortuary to have one last moment with
Albert before his funeral the following day. When the attendant pulls back the
curtain, Dorothy manages to smile as Albert is now wearing a smart blue suit.
She asks the attendant, "How did you manage to get hold of that beautiful blue
suit?"
"Well, yesterday afternoon after you left, a man about your husband's size was
brought in. He was wearing a blue suit, but his wife explained that she was
very upset as he had always wanted to be buried in a black suit," the attendant
replied.
He continued, "After that, it was simply a matter of swapping the heads
around."
