My friend 'T' is unwell and consigned to a care home; each of the persons in there live in their own world, doing strange things, and uttering nonsensical sentences, at the weirdest of times.

I was visiting a few days ago, with my friends wife, 'H'.

We were sat in a lounge either side of T, slightly askew, H physically facing an area off to my right, out of my view. I knew there was a chap there, on a chair next to a lady on an electrically operated chair which could be inclined, flattened or put into a sitting position, the two were not communicating, just present.

H started to try to stifle a laugh and eventually was laughing almost uncontrollably, with me stating that I dare not look.

The chap on the chair off to my right was pressing various buttons on a remote control and watching it intently, unaware that the lady in that chair beside him was going up and down, onto her back, then sitting up, and eventually calling for the nurse. This was going on for at least four minutes before a nursing member arrived. Funny enough for inclusion in a comedy show, so, so funny. One could imagine the scene when everybody is looking up to the a gaping hole in the ceiling with no lady in that chair.
