The family had to put the old man in a nursing home.
The nurses were very attentive. One noticed on his first day that he was leaning over to the left in his chair. She straightened him up and put a cushion by him. Later, he was leaning well over to the other side. She straightened him up and gave him another cushion. Later still, she saw him slumped forward so she set him back in his chair and was obliged to put a safety strap across his front...and there he sat, like that, every day.
A week later the family visited.
" Every thing alright, dad?"
"Oh aye, I'm alright", he replied.
"How's your bed, dad?"
"Oh aye, my bed's fine"
"And the food, dad?"
Oh aye, the food's fine, but there is one thing..."
"OH...what's that, dad?"
"They'll no' let ye get a fart at all"
