Old Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in the hospital, near death. The family called their preacher to stand with them.
As the preacher stood next to the bed, Old Fred's condition appeared to deteriorate and he motioned frantically for something to write on.
The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper, and Old Fred used his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then he died.
The preacher thought it would be best not to look at the note at this time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket.
At the funeral, as he was finishing the message, he realized that he was wearing the same jacket that he was wearing when Old Fred died. He said, "You know, Old Fred handed me a note just before he died. I haven't looked at it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there for us all."
He opened the note, and read, "Hey, you're standing on my oxygen tube!"

Hi CJ it is only a laugh I use oxygen as well, I wish I had a penny for every time I was rushed into hospital with my asthma.
I have my nebulizer and my mask ready in case of another attack, but I don't let it get me down. Just think of me when I had an attack getting carted into hospital
with hair die on my hair, and no time to wash it off, I was like the purple monster.

susie, that was hilarious. If we can't take time out to laugh once in a while, what's the point of anything? I appreciate reading your jokes and if others don't, why don't they go to R&S or maybe not , It is kind of funny over there too! LOL!

No, I have never seen one of those ashtrays. I'd sure like to run across one and add it to my skull collection. I guess that would make me one of those people who would gleefully exclaim "That's just what I wanted, thank you so much"

My son also has asthma and I found it very funny. I also color my hair so the reference to the purple was very funny too.

Were you ever a nurse? That is typical nurses humour. It made me chuckle.
