A family took their frail, elderly mother to a nursing home and left her,
hoping she would be well cared for. The next morning, the nurses bathed
her, fed her a tasty breakfast, and set her in a chair at a window
overlooking a lovely flower garden.

She seemed okay, but after a while she slowly started to tilt sideways in
her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rushed up to catch her and
straighten her up. Again she seemed okay, but after a while she slowly
started to tilt over to her other side. The nurses rushed back and once
more brought her back upright. This went on all morning.

Later, the family arrived to see how the old woman was adjusting to her
new home.

"So Mum, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?"

"It's allright," she replied. "Except they won't let me fart."
