Old George's hospital bed is surrounded by well-wishers, but it doesn't
look good. Suddenly, he motions frantically to the vicar for something
to write on. The vicar lovingly hands him a pen and a piece of paper,
and George uses his last bit of energy to scribble a note, then dies.
The vicar thinks it best not to look at the note right away, so he
places it in his jacket pocket.
At George's funeral, as the vicar is finishing his eulogy, he realises
he's wearing the jacket he was wearing when George died.
"George handed me a note just before he died," he says. "I haven't looked
at it, but knowing George, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration in it
for us all."
Opening the note, he reads aloud, "Help! You're standing on my oxygen tube"
