Cool Thing To Read: Bubba and the Blue Suit
A man who just died is delivered to a Kentucky mortuary wearing an
expensive, expertly tailored black suit. Bubba the mortician asks the
deceased’s wife how she would like the body dressed. He points out that
the man does look very 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 Bubba a
blank check and says, “I don’t care what it costs, but please have my
husband in a blue suit for the viewing.”
The woman returns the next day for the viewing. 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 Bubba, “Whatever the
cost, I’m very satisfied. You did an excellent job and I’m very
grateful. How much did you spend?” To her astonishment, Bubba presents
her with the blank check. “Dere’s no charge,” he says.
“No, really, I must pay you for the cost of that exquisite blue suit!”
she says. “Honestly, ma’am,” Bubba says, “it didn’t cost me a ting. 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 missus 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 just switched the heads.”
