Importance Of Good Hearing

                       A male patient is lying in bed
 
                              in the hospital,
 
                      wearing an oxygen mask over his
                              mouth and nose,
 
    still heavily sedated from a difficult four hour surgical procedure
 
                A young student nurse appears to give him a
 
                            partial sponge bath.
 
              Nurse,' he mumbles, from behind the mask 'Are my
 
                             testicles black?'
 
                    Embarrassed, the young nurse replies
 
                             'I don't know,Sir.
 
                           I'm only here to wash
 
                             your upper body.'
 
                         He struggles to ask again,
 
                               'Nurse, are my
 
                             testicles black?'
 
  Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry about his testicles, 
 
                             she overcomes her
 
                        embarrassment and sheepishly
 
                           pulls back the covers.
 
                       She raises his gown, holds his
 
                         penis in one hand and his
 
                          testicles in the other,
 
                          lifting and moving them
 
                         around and around gently.
 
  Then, she takes a close look and says, 'No sir, they aren't and I assure 
                         you, there's nothing wrong
 
                             with them, Sir !!'
 
                     The man pulls off his oxygen mask,
 
                             smiles at her and
 
                             says very slowly,
 
                       'Thank you very much. That was
 
                           wonderful, but listen
 
                         very, very closely..... .
