FREDS NOTE
Added on: 16th Jun 2015
Ol' Fred had been a religious man
who was in the hospital, near death.
The family called their preacher
to stand with them.
As the preacher stood next to the bed,
Ol' Fred's condition appeared to
deteriorate and he motioned
frantically for something to write on.
The pastor lovingly handed him
a pen and a piece of paper, and Ol' Fred
used his last bit of energy to scribble a note,
then he died.
The preacher thought it best not to
look at the note at that time,
so he placed it in his jacket pocket.
At the funeral, as he was
finishing the message,
he realised that he was wearing the
same jacket that he was wearing
when Ol' Fred died.
He said, "You know, Ol' Fred handed
me a note just before he died.
I haven't looked at it, but knowing Fred,
I'm sure there's a word of
inspiration there for us all."
He opened the note,
and read out loud,
"Hey, you're standing on my oxygen tube?"
