Santa Goes to
heaven
Santa Singh
was in the hospital, near death, so the family sent for his friend
Banta. As Banta Singh stood beside the bed, Santa Singh's frail
condition grew worse, and he motioned frantically for something to
write on. Banta Singh lovingly handed him a pen and piece of paper,
and Santa used his last ounce of strength to scribble a note. Then
he died.
Banta Singh
thought it best not to look at the note just then, so he slipped it
into his jacket pocket. Several days later, at the funeral, Banta
Singh was visiting Santa's family. He realized that he was wearing
the same jacket that he'd worn the day Santa died. "You know," he
said, "Santa handed me a note just before he died. I haven't read
it, but knowing Santa, I'm sure there's a word of inspiration there
for us all."
He unfolded
the note and read aloud, "You're standing on my oxygen tube!"
