[CaptJ]

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital,

Wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose, still



Heavily sedated from a difficult four hour, surgicalprocedure.



A young student nurse appears to give him apartial sponge bath.



Nurse', he mumbles, from behind the mask 'Are my



Testicles black?'



Embarrassed, the young nurse replies 'I don't know,



Sir.. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet.'



He struggles to ask again, 'Nurse, are my testicles



Black?'



Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry



About his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment



And sheepishly pulls back the covers.



She raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and



His testicles in the other, lifting and moving them



Around.



Then, she takes a close look and says, 'There's



Nothing wrong with them, Sir !!'



The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and



Says very slowly,



'Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but listen



Very, very closely...... .
