Widow's Request

The widow takes a look at her dear departed one right before the funeral and, to her horror, finds that he's in his 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 the lightning bolt hit him. 

She demands that the corpse be changed into the blue suit she'd brought especially for that purpose. 

The undertaker pleads, "But madam! It's only a minute or two until the funeral is scheduled to begin! We can't possibly take him out and get him changed in that amount of time. 

The widow asks, "Who's paying for this?"
Seeing the logic to this argument, a very reluctant mortician wheels the coffin out, but then wheels it right back in a moment later. Miraculously, the corpse was in a blue suit. 

After the ceremony, a well-satisfied widow compliments 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 answers, "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.
