This is a favorite Flip Wilson story. (He does it better)


George Smith died and was taken to a funeral home for preparation
for burial.  When the bereaved Mrs. Smith came to see him lying
in state prior to the funeral, she saw him laid out in a brown
suit.  Summoning over the undertaker she asked: "Why do you have
Mr. Smith wearing a *brown* suit. His favorite color was blue and
I specifically requested that he be laid out in a *blue* suit."

The undertaker was taken aback and answered: "I'm very sorry, but
all we have in stock right now is a brown suit in Mr. Smith's
size.  Besides, He looks just fine in brown."

Mrs. Smith was not convinced and with more anger than bereavement
said: "I *insist* that you change that suit. Now, I am going to
take care of a few things but I will be back in 15 minutes. By
that time I expect you to find a *blue* suit for my husband."

Fifteen minutes later Mrs. Smith returned and, sure enough, there
was George in a blue suit. Mrs. Smith was amazed. She called the
undertaker over and said: "I thought you said you didn't have any
blue suits."

"I *didn't* have any."

"Then where did you get that one?"

"Well, about a minute after you left another gentleman was
brought in here and he was already wearing a blue suit so I gave
him George's brown suit and gave the blue suit to George."

"You mean it took you just 15 minutes to change 2 dead mens'
clothing?"

"Well, not exactly..."

"What do you mean 'not exactly?'" asked Mrs. Smith.

"Well, I didn't have to switch the clothes," answered the
undertaker. "I switched the heads."
