My mother in law is currently in hospital. There is a problem with her blood and iron count so she has been receiving a number of transfusions. The wife and I were visiting her on Monday when the nurse came in to start a new bag of blood....
Nurse to my mother in law: "Well Mrs Webster the Doctor tells me that you have the heart of a thirty year old."
Me in an attempt to bring a bit of levity to the situation: "Thats funny. I have the body of a nineteen year old...(pause) Yeah its in the boot of the car. Dont want to give me a hand to bury it do you?"
Nurse fixing me with a cold gaze: "You are a sick man."
