Strange forces at work

There was a case in one hospital's Intensive Care ward where patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 11am, regardless of their medical condition.  This puzzled the doctors and some even thought that it had something to do with the supernatural because no one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths always occurred around 11am on Sundays.  So a worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents.  The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 11am, all the doctors, nurses, holy men and psychics nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about.  Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits.  Just as the clock struck eleven, the part-time Sunday cleaner entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so that he could use the vacuum cleaner.

  • I really don't know. This particular story/joke was sent to me in a batch entitled 'So you think you are having a bad day?' some months ago. Every time I get a funny sent to me I keep it, and when these blogs started up I decided to post a funny / think about it / novelty each day. When I know something is true, I say as much, otherwise I leave it to be read as a joke. However, in this particular case, I would imagine that if it were true, it is now something every hospital across the globe is now aware of, and they will not allow it to happen again! A <><

  • Hi
    This story is a fabulous Urban Myth. It goes around from time to time, the name of the hospital changes, and it can be quite racist (The Brits say the cleaner was Irish, I've heard this story in the US about a Mexican cleaner, etc) at time.
    It is a great STORY - and it is just that. A story.
