After the doctor left, as Lester sat in his room contemplating his fate, a nurse entered to take his vital signs. This particular nurse happened to be extremely heavy; she must have weighed at least three hundred pounds. Lester just stared at her as she moved around the room, busying herself with taking his temperature, checking his blood pressure, refilling his pitcher of ice water, and fluffing his pillow. Her chores done, she stood at the foot of the bed and addressed Lester. "Is there anything else I can do for you, Mr. White?"
Lester looked at the enormously fat nurse standing before him and said, "For God's sake -- don't sing."
