Lying in the hospital bed, the dying man began to 
flail about and make motions as if he would like to
speak. The priest, keeping watch at the side of his
bed, leaned quietly over and asked, "Do you have
something you would like to say?" 

The man nodded affirmatively, and the priest handed
him a pad and pen. "I know you can't speak, but use
this to write a note and I will give it to your wife.
She's waiting just outside." 

Gathering his last bit of strength, the man took
the pad and pen, scrawled his message, then stuffed it
into the priest's hands. 

Moments later, the man died. 

After administering the last rites, the priest left
to break the sad news to the wife. The priest consoled
her for some time, then handed her the note. "Just
before your husband passed on, he wrote this message
to you. These were his last words." 

The wife tearfully opened the note, and read it out
loud, "Get off my oxygen hose you idiot!"
