I dunno about you, but I have a bunch of folks who keep sending me "funny stories". Many are toilet humour or plain stupid, easy to spot the coming twist, or ancient. This one I didn't see coming, so I'll annoy you and share it :)

Mortician
A man who had just died was delivered to the mortuary wearing an expensive,
expertly tailored black suit. The mortician asks the deceased's wife how she
would like the body dressed.

He points out that the man does look good in the black suit he is already
wearing.

The widow, however, says that she always thought her husband looked his best
in blue, and that she wants him in a blue suit. She gives the mortician a
blank check and says, "I don't care what it costs, please have my husband in
a blue suit for the viewing."

The woman returns the next day for the wake. To her delight, she finds her
husband dressed in a gorgeous blue suit with a subtle chalk stripe; the suit
fits him perfectly.

She says to the mortician, "Whatever this cost, I'm very satisfied.  You did
a  excellent job and I'm very grateful. How much did you spend?"

To her astonishment, the mortician presents her with the blank chec k." 
There's no charge," he says.

"No, really, I must compensate you for the cost of that exquisite blue
suit!" she says.

"Honestly, ma'am," the mortician says, "It cost nothing. You see, a deceased
gentleman of about your husband's size was brought in shortly after you left
yesterday, and he was wearing an attractive blue suit. I asked his wife if
she minded him going to his grave wearing a black suit instead, and she said
it made no difference as long as he looked nice.  So I switched the heads."

Ha! Didn't see that one coming :afro:
