Scottish Humor
Jock had been a religious man all his life. When rushed into hospital, his family called a preacher to stand with them. As the preacher stood next to the bed, Jock's condition appeared to worsen and he motioned frantically for something to write on. He was handed a pen and paper and Jock used his last gasp of energy to scribble a note which he handed to the preacher and then he died.
The preacher thought it best not to look at the note at the time and placed it in his jacket pocket.
At the funeral, as he was finishing his eulogy he realized that he was wearing the same jacket as he had at the hospital.
He said "You know, Jock handed me a wee note just before he died. I haven't read it yet, but knowing Jock I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there for us all"
He opened the note and read out loud "Hi minister. Yer staundin oan ma oxygen"
