Are You Ready for this?

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 bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her
in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden.

She seems O.K. but after a while she slowly starts to lean over
sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to
catch her and straighten her up.

Again, she seems O.K. 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. So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right? they
ask.

It's pretty nice, she replies. Except they won't let you fart.
