JOKE The Patient and the Nurse

>A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over
> his mouth and nose, still heavily sedated from a difficult, four
> hour,surgical procedure. A young, student nurse appears to give him a
> partial sponge bath.
>
> "Nurse," he mumbles, from behind the mask. "Are my tes*ticles black?"
>
> Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir, I'm only here to
> wash your upper body and feet."
>
> He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, are my tes*ticles black?"
>
> Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry about his tes*ticles,
> she overcomes her embarrassment and sheepishly pulls back the covers.
>
> She raises his gown, holds his pe*nis in one hand and his tes*ticles in
> the
> other, lifting and moving them around.
>
> Then, she takes a close look and says,"There's nothing wrong with them,
> Sir."
>
> The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly,
>
> "Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but, listen very, very closely
