The Last Words

 
 
 Lying in the hospital bed, the dying man began to
 flail about and make motions as  if he would like to speak.

 The priest, keeping watch at the side of his bed leaned
 quietly over and asked, "Do you have something you would
 like to say?" The man  nodded to the affirmative, and the
 priest handed him a pad and pen. "I know you can't speak,
 but use this to write a note and I will give it to your
 wife. She's  waiting just outside." Gathering his last
 bit of strength, the man took them and scrawled his message
 upon the pad which he stuffed into the priest's hands.

 Then, moments later, the man died. After administering the
 last rites, the priest  left to break the sad news to the
 wife. After consoling her a bit, the priest handed  her
 the note. "Here were his last words. Just before passing on,
 he wrote this message to you." The wife tearfully opened
 the note which read:

 "GET OFF MY OXYGEN HOSE!!"
