Soiled Linens

an extremely modest man was in the hospital for a series of tests, the last of
which had left his system extremely upset. upon making several false-alarm trips
to the bathroom he decided the latest was another and stayed put. unfortunately
for him, this wasn't a false alarm and he soiled his bed linens terribly. he was
embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational. losing his presence of mind,
he jumped up, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw them out the hospital
window.
a drunk was walking by the hospital when the sheets landed on him. he started
yelling, cursing, and swinging his arms wildly, which left the soiled sheets in
a tangled pile at his feet.
as the drunk stood there staring down at the sheets, a
security guard who had watched the whole incident walked up and asked, "what
the hell was that all about?"
still staring down, the drunk replied: "i think i just beat the s*** out of a
ghost!"
