    One evening, a family brings their frail, elderly

    mother to a nursing home and leaves her, hoping she

    will be well cared for. The next morning, the nurses

    bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a

    chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden.

    She seems O.K. but after a while she slowly starts to

    lean over sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses

    immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up.

    Again, she seems O.K. but after a while she starts to

    tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back and once

    more bring her back upright. This goes on all morning.

    Later, the family arrives to see how the old woman is

    adjusting to her new home. "So Ma, how is it here? Are

    they treating you all right?" they ask.

    "It's pretty nice," she replies. "Except they won't let

    you fart.
