Green Grass

[Don Sims]

A nurse was on duty in the Emergency room when a young

woman with purple hair styled in a punk rocker Mohawk, sporting

a variety of tattoos and wearing strange clothing, entered. It was

quickly determined that the patient had acute appendicitis, so she

was scheduled for immediate surgery. When she was completely

disrobed on the operating table, the staff noticed that her public

hair had been dyed green and above it was a tatoo that read,

"Keep off the grass."

Once the surgery was completed, the surgeon wrote a short

note on the patient's dressing that said, "Sorry. Had to mow

the lawn."
