I got this joke from the Swedish movie "As it is in Heaven". It's a fairly good movie, I guess, sort of weird, but touching too. This joke is from the scene in the shop, fairly early on. Hope you like it :)

As usual, Duke Roger of Conté was running fashionably late. Orange robes sweeping the floor, he moved quickly and purposefully towards the funeral procession as it made its way outside.
Scratching his neck absentmindedly, Roger scanned the crowd for a face he could pretend to tolerate. His gaze came to rest on his nephew, Prince Jonathan.
After making his way through the dreary mourners he ended up next to the small boy, who turned to him with solemn eyes. Upon recognising Roger a smile crept onto his face, which had filled with admiration.
Roger's confidence always found a way of doubling round this child, who was so eager to please him.
"Er, say, young Jonathan," he bent over to speak, although no longer feeling awkward, "would you happen to know who's dead, by any chance?"
Jonathan considered for a moment. "I don't know, but I think they're the one in the coffin."
