"Lesson in Logic"<br /><br />A fourth-grade teacher was giving her pupils<br />a lesson in logic. "Here is the situation," she said.<br /><br />"A man is standing up in a boat in the middle of<br />a river, fishing. He loses his balance, falls in, and<br />begins splashing and yelling for help. His wife<br />hears the commotion, knows he can't swim, and<br />runs down to the bank. Why do you think she ran<br />to the bank?"<br /><br />A little girl raised her hand and asked, "To draw out<br />all his savings?"<br />__________________________________________________<br />Fred was in the hospital, very sick, so the family<br />sent for his pastor. As the pastor stood beside<br />the bed, Fred's frail condition grew worse, and<br />he motioned frantically for something to write on.<br /><br />The pastor lovingly handed him a pen and piece<br />of paper, and Fred used his last ounce of strength<br />to scribble a note. Then he died. The pastor thought<br />it best not to look at the note just then, so he<br />slipped it into his jacket pocket.<br /><br />Several days later, at the funeral, the pastor delivered<br />the eulogy. He realized that he was wearing the same<br />jacket that he'd worn the day Fred died. "You know,"<br />he said, "Fred handed me a note just before he died.<br />I haven't read it, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a<br />word of inspiration there for us all." He unfolded the note<br />and read aloud, "You're standing on my oxygen tube!"
"You're standing on my oxygen tube!"
