"Never Sick"<br /><br />Grandma Jones from the valley had never<br />experienced a sick day in her life, so she<br />didn't take it kindly when a bad case of the<br />mulligrubs sent her to the hospital for<br />observation.<br /><br />By the time a pair of husky interns got<br />Grandma tucked into bed, she had managed<br />to complain about everything: the temperature,<br />the lights, the skimpy gown, the food and the<br />mattress, especially, the mattress.<br /><br />Suddenly, Grandma spotted a small plastic<br />item with a button, attached to a cord.<br />"What's that?" she demanded.<br /><br />"If you need anything in the middle of the night,<br />Grandma," said one of the interns, "just press<br />that button."<br /><br />"What does it do, ring a bell?" she asked.<br /><br />"No, it turns on a light in the hall for the nurse<br />on duty," the intern replied.<br /><br />"A light in the hall?" responded Grandma. "Look,<br />I'm the sick one around here. If the night nurse<br />needs a light on in the hall, she can get up and<br />switch it on herself."
