A man is lying in a hospital bed, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose.
A young student nurse appears in his room to give him a sponge bath.
"Nurse", he mumbles, from behind the mask. "Are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I"m only here to wash your upper body and feet."
He struggles to ask again. "Nurse, are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he may elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worry about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers.
She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles in the other and takes a close look.
On first glance there seems to be nothing wrong. But she doesn"t want to make a mistake so she switches hands and does another thorough inspection.
Finally she is satisfied and she says, "There"s nothing wrong with them, Sir! They look white to me!"
The man then pulls off his oxygen mask and hesitates for a moment to make sure he can breathe properly.
Then he smiles at her and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful, but I"m not sure you understood me. I said, 'Are my test results back?' "
