Grandma Jones had never experienced a sick day in her life, so she didn't take it kindly when a bad case of the 'mulligrubs' sent her to the hospital for observation.
By the time a pair of husky interns got Grandma tucked into bed, she had managed to complain about everything: the temperature, the lights, the skimpy gown, the food and the mattress, especially, the mattress.
Suddenly, Grandma spotted a small plastic item with a button, attached to a cord. 'What's that?' she demanded.
'If you need anything in the middle of the night, Grandma,' said one of the interns, 'just press that button.'
'What does it do, ring a bell?' she asked.
'No, it turns on a light in the hall for the nurse on duty,' the intern replied.
