09/12/19 Grif.Net - Helpful Mortician
Robert Griffin
The widow took a look at her dearly departed a few minutes before the funeral service and, to her horror, found that he was in an old brown suit. She'd specifically said to the undertaker that she wanted him buried in his blue suit she'd brought it especially for that occasion, and she was distressed that the mortician had left him in the same brown suit he'd been wearing when he died.
She demanded that the corpse be changed into the blue suit she'd provided. The undertaker said, "But madam! It's only ten minutes until the funeral is scheduled to begin! We can't possibly take him out and get him changed in that short of time.
The lady looked unflinchingly at him and asked, "Who's paying for this?"
Seeing the logic to her argument, a very reluctant mortician wheeled the coffin out, but then wheeled it back in with time to spare! And the corpse was in a blue suit.
After the ceremony, the now well-satisfied widow complimented the undertaker on the smooth and speedy service. She especially wanted to know how he'd been able to get her husband into a blue suit so fast.
The funeral director said, "Oh, it was easy. It happens that there was another body in the back room and he was already dressed in a blue suit. All we had to do was switch heads."
