MARVIN'S FUNERAL

Marvin was in the hospital on his death bed. The family called in Marvin's preacher to be with him in his final moments. As the preacher stood by the bed, Marvin's condition seemed to deteriorate. Marvin motioned for someone to quickly pass him a pen and paper. The preacher got the pen and paper and lovingly handed it to Marvin. Marvin scribbled a short message and then handed the paper back to the preacher. But before he had a chance to read the note, Marvin died. The preacher felt that now was not the right time to read the message, so he put it in his jacket pocket.

It was at the funeral that the preacher, while speaking, suddenly remembered the note. Reaching deep into his pocket, the preacher said, "And you know what! I suddenly remembered that right before he died, Marvin handed me this note. Knowing Marvin, I'm sure it was something inspiring that we can all gain from." With that introduction the preacher ripped out the note, opened it, and read:

HEY, YOU ASSHOLE, YOU'RE STANDING ON MY OXYGEN TUBE!"
