One evening, a family brings their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and leaves her, hoping she will be well cared for.
The next morning, the nurses bathed her, fed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden.
She seems fine, but slowly starts to lean over sideways in her chair after a while.
Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to catch her and straighten her up.
Again, she seems fine, but after a while, she starts to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back and once more bring her back upright.
This goes on all morning. Later, the family arrives to see how the old woman is adjusting to her new home.
They ask, "So, Mom, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?"
"Pretty nice," she replies. "Except they won't let you fart."
Picture this: It's Suppertime in 1990, and the Gallagher family is eating dinner. My dad is sitting at the head of the dinner table. Inevitably, at some point during the meal, he’d lean over and let one rip. Then he’d laugh and announce that there was a barking spider somewhere in the room.
This joke is for him. Have a great week, everyone.
