Ol'Fred had been a faithful Christian and was in the hospital, near death.
The family called their preacher to stand with them. As the preacher stood
next to the bed, Ol'Fred's condition appeared to deteriorate and he
motioned frantically forsomething to write on. The Pastor lovingly handed
him a pen and a piece of paper, and Ol'Fred used his last bit of energy to
scribble a note, then suddenly died. The preacher thought it was best not to look at the note at that time, so
he placed it in his jacket pocket. At the funeral, as he was finishing his
message, he realized that he was wearing the same jacket that he was
wearing when Ol'Fred died.
He said, "You know, Ol'Fred handed me a note just before he died. I
haven't looked at it yet, but knowing Fred, I'm sure there's a word of
inspiration for all of us."
He opened the note and read, "Please step to your left--you're standing on
my oxygen tube."
