British humour can be rather difficult to enjoy. A man was suddenly taken ill at a business meeting. He dies. Widow goes to see cadaver at undertakers. Says to Undertaker, “Doesn’t he look peaceful? However, he is wearing a brown suit and, although he looks very smart, it was his dearest wish to be buried in a nice dark suit.” The Undertaker says he’ll see what he can do. Widow returns on the day of the funeral and goes into the chapel of rest for another look at the deceased. The Undertaker is also there in the chapel. She is pleasantly surprised to see that her husband is now wearing a dark suit. She turns to the Undertaker and thanks him, saying how thoughtful it was for him to arrange this. “Think nothing of it,” he says, “As it turned out, another deceased gentleman was brought in the very next day……” “Oh, ever so kind,” interrupts the Widow. “Yes, and it so happened that this other gentleman was wearing a dark suit…not only that, he had a similar sartorial elegance to your late husband and, moreover, he was exactly the same height and build….” “Oh, thank you very much,” chimed in the Widow. “……so it was a simple matter of swapping the heads.”

Heard it before, but it's good.
