Alright so I got a story to tell you.
Umm, this guy gets into a terrible accident.
He wakes up in a hospital.
He's face down.
He has no idea what happened.
And you know, the nurses coming in, they tell the guy, "I'm sorry.
You were involved in a terrible accident.
You're temporarily paralyzed.
You're not gonna be able to move your limbs for quite some time."
And the guy is just depressed.
I mean, he's lying there face down.
He can't move.
He's got no friends and family to come visit him in the hospital.
And uh, he starts talking.
So, it turns out there's another guy sharing a hospital room with him.
But this other guy, he's sitting over by the window.
And this other guy can sit up for an hour each day to drain the fluid outta his lungs.
He's also been in some kinda horrible accident.
So, the two men start talking to pass the time, and the guy who's at the window starts
telling his roommate all the beautiful things that he can see outside the window.
As luck would have it, the window overlooks this beautiful park.
It's got a lake and there's like swans and ducks playing in there, and children running
around with balloons.
So, every day when he gets up in the morning, he starts describing to his roommate the things
he sees outside the window.
And this cheers his roommate up a little bit who's, you know, face down, and can't do anything.
The guy who's face down finds himself living for these one hour stretches in the morning
with his roommate who can tell him all these beautiful things he sees outside the window:
there's like a parade going by, these jets planes, I can see the city in the background,
you know, young lovers walking hand and hand, and it really gets him some hope.
It kinda keeps him going, you know?
One morning, the face down guy wakes up and he calls up his roommate.
He doesn't hear anything.
So he gets kinda worried, and he starts buzzing for the nurses.
The nurses run in and they find out that the guy by the window died, sometime during the
night.
He's dead.
He's gone.
So they cart the body outta there.
And then the face down guy is depressed, but in a couple days, his body starts to heal
up and they were able to flip him over onto his back.
So, the first thing he does is he asks if he can have the bed over by the window so
that he can see what's outside.
The nurse said, "Sure."
So, he moves to the bed.
The first thing he does is have the nurse open the blind, and he looks outside of the
window and he sees this brick wall.
Oh, for Christ's sake!
What, they--they just put this brick wall up?
And the nurse is like, "No, what are you talking about?"
The nurse is uh, "I've been working on this hospital twenty years.
That brick wall has been there this whole time."
And the guy says, "But that's impossible.
My roommate, you know, would sit by the window and told me all these things that he saw outside
the window each day, you know?
And the nurse turns to him and she says, "Look, I don't know how to tell you this, but the
guy that was sitting by the window, he was blind.
Couldn't even see."
So, the moral of the story is: blind people lie.
