Friends 'R' Family

Judy · Moderator

Ol' Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in the
hospital, near death.The family called their pastor to
stand with them. As the pastor stood next to the bed,
Ol' 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 Ol' Fred used his last bit of energy to
scribble a note, then he died. The pastor thought it
best not to look at the note at that 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 Ol' Fred died.

He said, "You know, Ol' 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, "You're standing on my
oxygen tube a$$hole!
