~ Deceiving the Nurse ~
Harold was an old man, he was sick, and he was in the hospital.
There was one young nurse that just drove him crazy. Every time she
came in, she would talk to him like he was a little child. She
would say in a patronizing tone of voice, "And how are we doing this
morning, or are we ready for a bath, or are we hungry?"
Old Harold had had enough of this particular nurse. One day, Old
Harold had received breakfast, and pulled the juice off the tray,
and put it on his bed side stand. He had been given a Urine Bottle
to fill for testing. The juice was apple juice. So..... you know
where the juice went.
The nurse came in a little later and picked up the urine bottle.
She looks at it. "My, but it seems we are a little cloudy
today....."
At this, Old Harold snatched the bottle out of her hand, pops off
the top, and drinks it down, saying, "Well, I'll run it through
again, and maybe I can filter it better this time."
The nurse fainted...... and Old Harold just smiled.

Hey...I had a patient who really did that once. He was a prankster and loved playing jokes on the staff. When he drank from his clean urinal, the nurse screamed.

That was really a good one but I could never get past it being a urinal and it would seem dirty even if it was brand new. That is like nurses who put chips in a new bedpan for a party when they have nothing else to use. SORRY, I will NEVER eat anything out of that pan!! LOL!!
