After his plane was hit and he was forced to eject, the Navy fighter pilot finally regained consciousness.
He was in a hospital, in a lot of pain. He found himself in the ICU with tubes/IV drips in both arms, a breathing mask, wires monitoring every function, and a nurse hovering over him, looking worried.
It was obvious he was in a life-threatening situation.
The nurse gave him a serious look, straight into his eyes.
Knowing he was not only a fighter pilot, but a Sailor,
she spoke to him softly and slowly, enunciating each word:
"You may not feel anything from the waist down."
Somehow he managed to mumble in reply,
"Can I feel your tits, then?"
And that, my friends, is a real positive attitude
