GHOST BUSTER!



An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a series of tests. The last test had left his system

upset. For hours he made several false-alarm trips to the bathroom. Finally giving up on going, he decided his

latest urge to go to the bathroom was just another false alarm, so he stayed put. He suddenly filled his bed with

diarrhea! He was SOOOO embarrassed!

Losing his presence of mind, he jumped up, gathered up the bed sheets, and

threw them out the hospital window.

As luck would have it, a drunk was walking by the hospital. Suddenly, 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 in the world was that all about?"

Still staring down, the drunk

replied: "I just beat the crap out of a ghost!":wave:

Oh no! MY

GPA! We can't have that!
Alright here goes - I'll guess at some of them and put a

question mark behind those (you get penalized less if you mark it as "not sure" right?)
