A Bit of Humor…

Forgive me. The following joke isn’t exactly “clean”. Stop reading here if that’s a problem for you.

There once was a man who was having some medical tests done. He was in the hospital, in standard hospital fare (drafty!), but he had a problem… his intestinal system was acting up. Yes… gas. BAD gas.

Now this was a VERY modest guy, and the idea of having this problem exhibit itself with a doctor or nurse in the room HORRIFIED him. He cursed his misfortune for having this problem pop up. But as is standard for hospitals, there was a LOT of waiting… and the problem was unforeseen… “What can I do?”, he thought. Thankfully, his room had a view… and the window actually would open. “Worst case”, he thought…

But the inevitable happened, several times. His stomach rumbled, and concerned he would embarrass himself far more than just passing gas, he rushed to the restroom. Each time, he found his worst fears alleved… it was just gas.

After several “false calls”, he determined that the window solution would be adequate. He opened it, and settled back down to wait for his next test.

Sure enough, soon he heard the hospital personnel talking outside his door. And sure enough… his problem came back. He squirmed a bit, and found that his worst nightmare had become reality. He had soiled the bed he was sitting on.

Scrambling from embarrassment, he did the only thing he knew to do… he gathered the soiled sheets and threw them out the open window.

To the misfortune of the staggering drunk below!

The soiled sheets landed right on top of him. Shocked by the sudden impact, the man fell down, flailing wildly, struggling mightily to free himself from whatever it was that had suddently attacked him. Entangled, he screamed, continuing to flail his arms and legs, rolling around on the sidewalk. After what seemed an eternity, he freed himself, and staggered back to his feet. Almost immediately, the smell overcame him.

The scene had attracted the attention of a small crowd of passing people, including a security guard from the hospital, who approached the stench-covered drunk and asked, “What in the world just happened here?”

Gathering himself, and looking down at the soiled sheets near his feet, the bewildered drunk replied:

“I’m shorry, occifer… I’m not sure… *HICCUP*…”

“I think I just beat the CRAP out of a GHOST!”

Happy Halloween!
