Herb died at work dressed in his very best black suit. At the funeral parlor his wife insisted that he looked much better in blue, and she wanted him re-dressed for the viewing.
"I don't care how much it costs, I want him dressed in a nice, well fitting blue suit for the viewing. It is the last thing that I can do for him, and price is no object" she insisted.
The undertaker said he understood and that he'd do his best.
When she arrived early for the scheduled viewing, her dead husband was elegantly dressed in a perfectly fitting very expensive blue suit. She was overjoyed, and asked the undertaker how much she owed him for his excellent choice of the perfect suit for her late husband. He insisted that she didn't owe him a cent. Continuing her desire to pay for the suit she pressed him for the cost.
He finally relented and told her the real story as to how he was able to provide a perfectly fitting expensive suit for her husband at no cost.
"Mam", he said, "right after you left, I had another customer who was dressed in a very, very expensive blue suit whose wife wanted him dressed in black for the viewing. I just switched heads...."
