A man went to visit his sick friend in the hospital. They were talking and laughing, but then his sick friend suddenly started breathing heavily. He quickly sat up in bed, grabbed a pen and paper, and jotted down his final words. A few seconds later, the man's sick friend gasped his last breath and dropped dead. The man was too overcome with grief to read the note, so he put it in his pocket and went home.
A few days later, the man was at his friend's funeral. He had forgotten all about the note in his pocket. When he remembered, he took it out excitedly thinking he could read it during the service. When he unfolded and read the note, it said, "Your foot is on my oxygen tube!"

有名男子去醫院探訪他生病的朋友。他們談笑風生，但忽然間他朋友開始呼吸困難。他朋友很快地從床上坐起來，抓了枝筆和紙，草草地寫下他最後的遺言。不久，那個男人生病的朋友嚥下最後一口氣之後就死了。男人悲傷得痛不欲生而無法去讀那張便條，於是，他將便條紙放進口袋裡然後回家。 
幾天後，男人參加他朋友的葬禮。他已將口袋裡的便條忘得一乾二淨。當他想起來時，他激動地拿出便條，打算在葬禮進行時唸出來。他攤開便條紙，然後讀它，便條寫道：「你的腳踩在我的氧氣管上！」
