When you are admitted to a hospital, they place on your wrist a white wristband with your name on it. But there are other different colored wristbands which symbolize other things. The red wristbands are placed on dead people.
There was one surgeon who worked on night shift in a school hospital. He had just finished an operation and was on his way down to the basement. He entered the elevator and there was just one other person there. He casually chatted with the woman while the elevator descended. When the elevator door opened, another woman was about to enter when the doctor slammed the close button and punched the button to the highest floor. Surprised, the woman reprimanded the doctor for being rude and asked why he did not let the other woman in.
The doctor said, “That was the woman I just operated on. She died while I was doing the operation. Didn’t you see the red wristband she was wearing?”
The woman smiled, raised her arm, and said, “Something like this?”[DOUBLEPOST=1414689764][/DOUBLEPOST]A couple who was part of a mountain hiking team went with their friends to go hiking up the steep slopes of the Sierra Madre (Mountain range here in the Phil.) At the base, the girl slipped on her way out of the comfort room and due to the sprain she suffered, was forced to stay back to wait for her boyfriend and their team to come home. Unfortunately, a heavy rain fell, stranding the team.
The next afternoon, she saw her team enter the large room they had rented for accommodation. Everyone except her boyfriend was present. She asked the team leader about it and he said: “There was a landslide at the mountain. He was our only casualty; we could not even retrieve his body.” The girl cried all night.
At midnight she woke up to the sound of someone in the kitchen. She tiptoed past her sleeping team members and checked downstairs. To her surprise, her boyfriend was there, looking for some water. When he saw her, he approached her and said:
“Baby, there was a landslide at the mountains. I was the only survivor.”
