An old lady was very upset because her husband, Albert, Had just passed away. She went to the undertakers to have one last look at hear dearly departed husband. The instant she saw him she started crying.
As one of the undertakers tried to comfort her, through her tears she explained that she was upset because her dearest Albert was wearing a black suit, and it was his wish to be buried in a blue suit. The undertaker apologised, explaining that it was traditional to put the body of the deceased in black, but he'd see whether he could arrange for a blue suit.
The next day the widow returned to the undertakers to have one last moment with Albert before his funeral the following day. When the undertaker pulled back the curtain, she managed to smile through her tears - she saw that Albert was resplendent in a very smart blue suit.
She said to the undertaker, 'Wonderful! Wonderful! But where did you get that smart blue suit?'
The undertaker replied, 'Well, yesterday afternoon after you had left, a man about your husband's size was brought in and he was wearing that blue suit. His wife explained that she was very upset as he had always wanted to be buried in a black suit, and so i told her that i would see what i could do about a black suit.
After that, it was simply a matter of swapping the heads!'
