Tony was in the hospital, near death. The family called
their preacher to stand with them. As the preacher stood
next to the bed, Tony's condition appeared to deteriorate
and he motioned frantically for something to write on. The
pastor lovingly handed him a pen and a piece of paper and
Tony used his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then
he died. The preacher thought it best not to look at the
note at that time, so he placed it in his jacket pocket. At
the funeral, as he was finishing the message, he realized
that he was wearing the same jacket that he was wearing
when Tony died. He said, “You know, Tony handed me a note
just before he died. I haven't looked at it, but knowing
Tony, I'm sure it's a wonderful message.”

He opened the note, and read, “Get off my oxygen tube!”
