Handling a demanding client

The widow took a look at her departed husband right before the funeral and, to her horror, found that he had been clothed in the brown suit the second wife had bought. She had told Funeral Services that she wanted him buried in the blue suit. She had brought it especially for that occasion. She demanded that the corpse be changed into the blue suit.

“But madam!” The funeral service attendant said, “It is only 10 minutes until the funeral is scheduled to begin! Remember the distance and the traffic jam from here to the church. We can’t get him changed and arrive at the church in time.”

The widow said, “Who is paying for this? If you don’t do as I say, I will talk to your boss.”

A very reluctant mortician wheeled the coffin out, but then wheeled it right back in a moment later. The corpse was in a blue suit.

And they arrived at church on time.
After the ceremony, a well-satisfied widow complimented the undertaker on the smooth and speedy service. But her driver wanted to know how the mortician had been able to get her husband into a blue suit so fast.

“Oh, it was easy,” he whispered. “It happens that there was another body in the back room already dressed in a blue suit. All we had to do was switch heads!”
