Ol' Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in
the hospital, near death. The family called their
pastor to stand with them. As the pastor stood 
next to the bed, Ol' Fred's condition appeared to
deteriorate and he motioned frantically for 
something to write on. The pastor lovingly handed
him a pen and a piece of paper, and Ol' Fred used
his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then 
he died. The pastor thought it best not to look 
at the note at that time, so he placed it in 
his jacket pocket. 

At the funeral, as he was finishing the message,
he realized that he was wearing the same jacket 
that he was wearing when Ol' Fred died. He said,
"You know, Ol' Fred handed me a note just before
he died. I haven't looked at it, but knowing 
Fred, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration 
there for us all." 

He opened the note, and read, "Asshole, you're
standing on my oxygen tube!"
