A man took his elderly father to a nursing home to check it out. He sat his father down on a sofa in the main hallway and went to talk with the administrators. The old man started to tilt slowly toward the left.

A doctor came by and said, "Let me help you." The doctor pile several pillows on the left side of the old man so he would stay up right. The older man started to tilt slowly to the right.

An orderly noticed and put several more pills on his right-hand side. The old man started to lean forward.

Then a nurse came by and piled several pillows in front of him.

About this time, the son returned, "Well, dad, isnt't this a nice place?"

The old man replied, "I guess it's okay, but they won't let me fart."
