old folks home

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.
