How is it here ?
One evening a family brings their frail, elderly mother to a nursing
 home and leaves her, hoping she will be well cared for. The next
 morning, the nurses bathe her, feed her a tasty breakfast, and set her 
in a chair at a window overlooking a lovely flower garden.
 
 She seems OK, but after a while she slowly starts to lean over
 sideways in her chair. Two attentive nurses immediately rush up to
 catch her and straighten her up. Again she seems OK, but after a while 
she starts to tilt to the other side. The nurses rush back and once more
 bring her back upright. This goes on all morning. Later the family 
arrives to see how the old woman is adjusting to her new home.
 
 "So Ma, how is it here? Are they treating you all right?" they ask.
 "It's pretty nice," she replies. "Except they won't let you fart."
