A church pastor went to a hospital to visit a man

A church pastor went to a hospital to visit a man from his congregation who was gravely ill. When he entered the room, he found several family members were also there. The patient had a breathing tube in his throat so was unable to speak. He beckoned the minister to his bedside and motioned for a pencil and paper. He scribbled a note on the paper, handed it to the preacher and immediately expired. In the confusion that followed, the pastor, who was busy consoling the family, put the note in his suit pocket and forgot about it. Some days later, he was officiating at the funeral and was wearing the same suit. During the eulogy he happened to put his hand in his pocket and brought out the forgotten note. Stopping in mid-sentence he held up the note and said to the crowd, "Folks, I have here Charlie's last words on earth." He told them of the scene in the hospital room and said, "I had forgotten about this note until this very moment. Let's see what Charlie's message was as he departed from this world." Opening the note he read,"YOU"RE STANDING ON MY OXYGEN HOSE!"
