Black Testicles <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, <o:p></o:p>
wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose, still <o:p></o:p>
heavily sedated from a difficult four hour, surgical <o:p></o:p>
procedure A young student nurse appears to give him a <o:p></o:p>
partial sponge bath. <o:p></o:p>
Nurse', he mumbles, from behind the mask 'Are my <o:p></o:p>
testicles black?' <o:p></o:p>
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies 'I don't know, <o:p></o:p>
Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet.' <o:p></o:p>
He struggles to ask again, 'Nurse, are my testicles <o:p></o:p>
black?' <o:p></o:p>
Concerned that he may elevate his vitals from worry <o:p></o:p>
about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment <o:p></o:p>
and sheepishly pulls back the covers. <o:p></o:p>
She raises his gown, holds his penis in one hand and <o:p></o:p>
his testicles in the other, lifting and moving them <o:p></o:p>
around. <o:p></o:p>
Then, she takes a close look and says, 'There's <o:p></o:p>
nothing wrong with them, Sir !!' <o:p></o:p>
The man pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and <o:p></o:p>
says very slowly, <o:p></o:p>
'Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but listen <o:p></o:p>
very, very closely...... <o:p></o:p>
