A man is lying in bed in a Catholic hospital with an oxygen mask
over his mouth. A young auxiliary nurse appears to sponge his face and
hands.

"Nurse," he mumbles from behind the mask, "Are my testicles black?"

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, I'm only here
to wash your face and hands."

He struggles again to ask, "Nurse, Are my testicles black?" Again
the nurse replies, "I can't tell. I'm only here to wash your face and
hands."

The ward sister was passing and saw the man getting a little
distraught so marched over to inquire what was wrong.

"Sister," he mumbled, "Are my testicles black?"

Being a nurse of longstanding, the sister was undaunted. She
whipped back the bedclothes, pulled down his pajama trousers, moved his
penis out of the way, had a right good look, pulled up the pyjamas,
replaced the bedclothes and announced, "Nothing wrong with them!!!"

At this the man pulled off his oxygen mask and asked again, "Are my
test results back???"
