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, 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 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.
Several days later, at the funeral, as the pastor was fini****ng
the eulogy, he realized that he was wearing the same jacket that
he was wearing when Fred had 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 aloud, "you're standing on my oxygen
tube moron!"
