Cleaning Story ... nyuk, nyuk

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Greetings Saints in Jesus name!

This is my last *post* to H-F before I officially go on vacation.
I just couldn't pass up posting this nyuk, nyuk about a situation
of mysterious deaths in a hospital.... maybe this should be more
of a sob, sob instead of a nyuk, nyuk.... I guess it would fall 
more under the "Life in these U.S.A."  (Union of South Africa) 
like the Readers Digest normally publishes.  

Next thing is, you're probably wondering why I'm doing H-F stuff
at 1am in the morning.... well, heh, heh.... I'm one of them real
nerdy computer geeks that I posted a nyuk, nyuk about less than a
day ago that just can't seem to log out.  Or check email one last
time, etc.  I just figgered Bro. Richard will appreciate not 
having so much stuff to do when he arrives to work in the morning.
I've done the DELETES to the list, the ADDs, DISCARDs, and APPROVEs
to the list... so he'll only have to deal with really current stuff.
I hope......

..............enjoy!

Bro. Tyler

This is supposed to be a true story.


                South African Health - Pelonomi Hospital
                ----------------------------------------

"For several months, our nurses have been baffled to find a dead
patient in the same bed every Friday morning" a spokeswoman for the
Pelonomi Hospital (Free State, South Africa) told reporters. "There
was no apparent cause for any of the deaths, and extensive checks on
the air conditioning system, and a search for possible bacterial
infection, failed to reveal any clues."

"However, further inquiries have now revealed the cause of these
deaths. It seems that every Friday morning a cleaner would enter the
ward, remove the plug that powered the patient's life support
system, plug her floor polisher into the vacant socket, then go
about her business. When she had finished her chores, she would plug
the life support machine back in and leave, unaware that the patient
was now dead. She could not, after all, hear the screams and eventual
death rattle over the whirring of her polisher.

"We are sorry, and have sent a strong letter to the cleaner in
question. Further, the Free State Health and Welfare Department is
arranging for an electrician to fit an extra socket, so there should
be no repetition of this incident. The enquiry is now closed."

By the way, the headline of the newspaper story was, "Cleaner
Polishes Off Patients."
