i found this funny at least. sometimes you need a little laugh to help you through the day.

A man was brought in to the hospital intensive care ward, put in a bed, tubes coming out everywhere. A week later, another man was admitted, in a similar condition. Both lay there, machines pinging, tubes poking, etc.

A couple more weeks before one of them had the strength to raise his hand and point to himself and said:

"Scottish"

The other signaled he had heard, raised his own hand, and said:

"Irish"

This act tired them out so badly it was a week before the first summoned up the strength to say:

"Glasgow"

Again the second replied in a very frail voice:

"Dublin"

Once more, the strain was too much for them both and they passed out. Days passed before the first man managed to again point to himself and say:

"Jimmy"

Replied the other:

"Paddy"

A few hours later, Jimmy managed to point to himself again and rasp out weakly:

"Cancer"

Paddy responded:

"Sagittarius"
