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
testicles
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 testicles black?" Concerned
that
he may elevate his vitals from worry about his testicles, she
overcomes her
embarrassment and sheepishly pulls back the covers. She raises his
gown,
holds his penis in one hand and his testicles 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...
