Don't Mess with Old People
From a Senior Scribe

The Old Timer's Hospital Stay...

I am a sick old man.

I was sick and in the hospital.

There was one nurse that just drove me crazy.

Every time she came in, she would talk to me like I was a little child.

She would say in a patronizing tone of voice,

'And how are we doing this morning',

Or 'Are we ready for a bath', or 'Are we hungry?'

I had had enough of this particular nurse.

One day, at breakfast, I took the apple juice off the tray and put it in my bed side stand.

Later, I was given a urine bottle to fill for testing.

So you know where the juice went!

The nurse came in a little later, picked up the urine bottle and looked at it.

'My, it seems we are a little cloudy today.'

At this, I snatched the bottle out of her hand, popped off the top, and drank it down, saying, 'Well, I'll run it through again.

Maybe I can filter it better this time.' The nurse fainted... I just smiled.

Sometimes I pretend to be normal, but it gets boring;

So I go back to being me.

SOUNDS LOGICAL TO ME!
