An extremely modest man was in the hospital for a series of tests, the last of 
which had left his system upset. Upon making several false-alarm trips to the 
bathroom he decided the latest was another and stayed put. He suddenly filed 
his bed with diarrhea and was embarrassed beyond his ability to remain rational. 
Losing his presence of mind, he jumped up, gathered up the bed sheets, and threw 
them out the hospital window. A drunk was walking by the hospital when 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 the hell was that all about?" 
Still staring down, the drunk replied: "I think I just beat the sh*t out of a 
ghost!"
