John is paying a visit to his Italian neighbor in the hospital, who just had a very serious traffic accident. He doesn't look like very much: in plaster, completely wrapped in a bandage, tons of hoses and infusions. he looks like a mummy. John tries to have a conversation, but his neighbor has his eyes closed and isn't responding. Suddenly his eyes jump wide open and he starts to gurgle and during his last gasp for air he says:

" Sei in piedi sul mio tubo dell'ossigeno, si git...."

John inscribes the words in his heart.

At the funeral John tells the black-clad widow that her husband had something to say.

'And, she asks with tearful eyes,"was it that he loved me? "

"I do not know," said the man, "but it sounded like Sei in piedi sul mio tubo dell'ossigeno, si git ...."

The widow screams and faints.

"What?" John ask startled to the daughter, "what did he say, what does that mean?" And the crying daughter says:

"You are standing on my oxygen hose, you git."
