Funeral Suit Mix-Up

the worst job I've ever had was working at a funeral home came into the funeral home wearing this expensive black suit I know but I always thought that he looked good in blue but I would like to see my husband in a blue suit by the time of his wake whatever the cost is I must at least pay you for that beautiful suit so I asked his wife if she minds him going into a grave with a black suit so I just switched ...

A man sitting in a car tells a story about working at a funeral home, where a widow wants her deceased husband to wear a blue suit because he looked good in blue. He agrees to pay for the expensive black suit and ultimately switches the suit before the burial, creating a darkly absurd punchline about taking the request literally.

The worst job I've ever had was working at a funeral home. My second week on the job, this guy who just died came into the funeral home wearing this expensive black suit. It was my job to ask the widow if she would like to see her deceased husband wearing, but I told her he looks good in that black suit. She was like, I know, but I always thought that he looked good in blue, so I would like to have him in a blue suit please. And she gave me this blank check and she was like, I don't care how much it cost, but I would like to see my husband in a blue suit by the time of his wake. So the widow came for the wake the next day and she was surprised when she saw him in a blue suit that fits so perfectly. She looked at me and she was like whatever the cost is I'm satisfied you did a very amazing job. And that's when I gave her the blank check she gave me back and I said it's at no cost. She was like I must at least pay you for that beautiful suit and I was like honestly it cost nothing. I was like this deceased guy came in yesterday and he was wearing this beautiful blue suit. So I asked his wife if she minds him going into a grave with a black suit. And she said it really makes no difference to me as long as he looks nice so I just switched the heads.
