书摘
A Bad Nurse
Mr Youngman was brought to the lounge of the nursing home to await his son. Since he was especially frail, the nurse was never far from his side.
As it happened, the ninety-year-old patient had a strange trouble that day. At least once every minute he would slope slightly to one side of the chair, tilting his buttock. As soon as he did so, the nurse hurried over and straightened him right up.

老人回答：“这里的东西很好吃，住宿也不错——只有一件事让我很不满意。”

老人抬起眼皮，小声地说：“就是那个坏护士，她不允许我放屁！”
