THE NAVY CHIEF AND THE NURSE.
During World War II, almost all the nurses were women and for the weary servicemen, that alone was a morale boost.
A Navy Chief lay in bed, oxygen mask strapped tight, still groggy from a grueling four‑hour surgery.
A young nurse stepped in to give him a sponge bath.
Through the mask, the Chief mumbled...
“Nurse…are my testicles black?”
She froze, cheeks burning...
“Chief, I’m only here to wash your upper body and feet!”
But he persisted, louder this time...
“Nurse… are my testicles black?”
Worried his vitals might spike, she swallowed her embarrassment, pulled back the covers, lifted his gown, and gently examined him.
After a careful look she said...
“Chief, there’s nothing wrong with them.”
The Chief pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her and says very slowly…
“Bless your Heart and thank you so very much as that was wonderful, but listen very, very closely...
