Bumpy Road

The joke plays on the double meaning of "bumpy road" and "straight path." The author is referring to a heart monitor reading, but the reader initially assumes it's about life's journey. This creates a dark twist when the true context is revealed.

• Heart Monitor
• Grade
• Kid
• School
• People
• Straight

• We wrote letters to a kid with cancer. My letter read, "It's a bumpy road, but soon you will have a straight path." People didn't realize it was meant for his heart monitor. Lol.
• One day I visited my friend in a hospital. I remember when I spoke, "You know, sometimes it's reaching its peak and its lowest state, but I know you'll always end like the others at calming and straight!" Yes, I talked about the heart monitor beside him.
• I would like to dedicate this song to a friend of mine, who was run over last week and is in hospital. The wheels on the bus go round and round!
• Once upon a time, Bob was in his hospital bed receiving medical treatment soon after finding out he had cancer. One day, his friend Jeremy decided to visit Bob and told him this very inspiring sentence: "Sometimes in life, you and your heart will climb peaking mountains, and cross low valleys." Little did Bob know that Jeremy was talking about his heart monitor.
