Halloween at the Hospital

[Karl/Pa.]

An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a

series of tests, the last of which had left his bodily

systems extremely upset. Upon making several false

alarm trips to the bathroom, he decided the latest

episode was another and stayed put.

He suddenly filled his bed with diarrhea and was

embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational. In

a complete loss of composure he jumped out of bed,

gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the

hospital window.

A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets

landed on him. He started yelling, cursing, and

swinging his arms violently trying to get the unknown

things off, and ended up with the soiled sheets in a

tangled pile at his feet.

As the drunk stood there, unsteady on his feet,

staring down at the sheets, a hospital security guard

(barely containing his laughter) who had watched the

whole incident walked up and asked, "What the heck is

going on here?"

The drunk, still staring down replied, "I think I just

beat the shit out of a ghost."
