    This is bound to have been posted here before but anyway.........

    An old lady was very upset as her husband Albert had just passed away. She went to the undertakers to have one last look at her dearly departed husband. The instant she saw him she started crying. One of the undertakers strode up to provide comfort in this sombre moment.

    Through her tears she explained that she was upset because her dearest Albert was wearing a black suit and it was his dying wish to be buried in a blue suit.

    The undertaker apologised and explained that traditionally they always put the bodies in a black suit but he'd see what could be arranged.

    The next day she 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 as Albert was resplendent in a smart blue suit.

    She said to the undertaker, "Wonderful, wonderful, but where did you get that beautiful blue suit?"

    "Well, yesterday afternoon after you left, a man about your husband's size was brought in and he was wearing a blue suit. His wife explained that she was very upset as he had always wanted to be buried in a black suit," the undertaker replied.

    The elderly wife smiled at the man.

    He continued, "After that, it was simply a matter of swapping the heads."
