An American In China

An American received a fax from the brother of his good friend in China saying that he had had a serious accident and was in the hospital.

The American immediately flew to Beijing to be by his friend's side at his time of need.

As he was standing next to his bed, the Chinese said in a very excited voice "CHU CHEE CHEN ...... CHU CHEE CHEN .... CHU CHEE CHEN" and finally passed away.

Very puzzled by his friend's final words he went to the Brother and asked, what does CHU CHEE CHEN mean.

With tears in his eyes, the brother replied, "He was saying, 'Take your foot off the oxygen hose!'"
