Black Testicles

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital,

wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose,

still heavily sedated from a difficult four hour

surgical procedure. A young student nurse appears

to give him a partial sponge bath.

'Nurse', he mumbles, from behind the mask 'Are

my testicles black?'

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies 'I don't know,

Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet.'

He struggles to ask again, 'Nurse, are my testicles black?'

Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry

about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment

and sheepishly pulls back the covers. She raises his gown,

holds his penis in one hand and his testicles in the other,

lifting and moving them around.

Then, she takes a close look and says, 'There's nothing

wrong with them, Sir!!'

The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and

says very slowly, 'Thank you very much. That was

wonderful, but listen very, very closely......
