A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, 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 and feet."
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, are my testicles black?"
She overcomes her embarrassment and sheepishly raises his gown, lifts them and takes a close look, rolling them around in her hand. "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 can you answer my question "A r e - m y - t e s t - r e s u l t s - b a c k?"
