A die hard poker player

Played in a $10/$20 ring game yesterday and this old guy, carrying a 
****table oxygen bottle with tubes in his nose, sits down.  He tells us
that 
he was feeling a little bad so he decided to go to the hospital and get 
checked.  They kept him eight days and he was just released two hours ago.

When his wife picked him up he said, "The first thing I told her was, I
want 
to go play some poker"!  So there he sat with the hospital identification 
band still on his wrist.  How's that for a die hard poker player!
