This may be rather old, but its a good joke.

A young man was in the hospital in the intensive care unit and requested
that a priest visit him.  

The priest arrives and goes over to the young man's bed and says
"how are you today?"

The young man replies very softly "mumble mumble mumble".

The priest leans a little closer and says "what was that?"

To which the young man says "mumble mumble mumble".

So the priest says "I didn't realize that you were this bad off, here
try to write it down for me".  And he hands the guy a notpad & pencil.

The guy writes several words and then passes away.

The priest stuffs the paper in his pocket and leaves.  Later that night
the priest finds the note in his pocket and reads it to find out that
it says "father, you're standing on my oxygen hose".
