An apple a day keeps the 'Nurse' away...
Something you might want to try next time you have to be in hospital.
An apple a day keeps the nurse away.......
Old person still at the top of his game
Harold was an old man.
He was sick and in the hospital.
There was one nurse that just drove him crazy.
Every time she came in, she would talk to him
as though he 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?'
Old Harold had had enough of this particular nurse.
One day, at breakfast, Old Harold took the apple juice off the tray and put it in his bed side cupboard.
Next, he 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, Old Harold 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!
Old Harold just smiled!
DON'T MESS WITH 'OLD' PEOPLE!

Nice one, Harold!
Good story, Jem. When my mum was in hospital it bugged the living daylights out of her the way the staff talked down to her just because she was old. Wish she could have seen this!

Couldn't agree more with Jemima. Well over 20 years ago I became organist at the local parish church. One of the spinster ladies constantly addressed me in the third person and.come hell or high water, could I persuade her otherwise?
"Hello, how's Michael today?"
"Dunno, if I see him Ill ask him!"
"And how are we this morning?"
" I'm canny, but you look a bit rough round the edges".
Did the message sink home? Did it buggery!
