An extremely modest man was in the hospital for
a series of tests, the last of which had left his
bodily systems extremely upset.
Upon making several false alarm trips to the bathroom,
he figured that the latest episode was just that,
so he stayed put.
Suddenly, however, he filled his bed with diarrhea
and was embarrassed beyond his ability to remain
rational. In a complete loss of composure, he jumped
out of bed, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw
them out the hospital window.
A drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets
landed on him. The drunk started yelling, cursing,
and swinging his arms violently, in an attempt to
free himself of the sheets. He ended up with the
soiled sheets in a tangled pile at his feet.
As the drunk stood there, staring down at the sheets,
a hospital security guard who had witnessed the
entire incident, walked up to him and asked,
“What the heck is going on?”
The drunk, still staring down at the sheets, replied,
“I think I just beat the shit out of a ghost.”
