The nurse attended at the desk comes over to him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, we're just about to close. Besides, you don't look too healthy right now." "Oh, you've got to let me try. This may be my last chance to save a bit of myself for posterity!" Feeling sorry for him, she says, "Oh, all right," hands him a jar and directs him to one of the rooms down the hall. When twenty minutes have passed without him returning, she gets worried and ventures to the door. Knocking on it and calling to him, she gets no response, and so she peeks inside. There he lies on the cot, breathing heavily, sweating and moaning. Off to the doctor she rushes and moments later the two of them burst into the room. They sit the old man up, give him some water, as his color returns, he laments, "I tried with my right hand and it didn't work. I tried with my left hand and it didn't work. I ran it under hot water and even tried beating it against the edge of the table, but I still couldn't get the lid off that jar!" -- Robert Reed, CAE Systems Division, tektronix!teklds!bobr
