Davids father is seriously ill so they had to fly him immediately to the better hospital in another city. While they were on board his father kept vomiting and  moaning of dizziness which made David ask, " Father are you much in pain?" his father answered, "NO, but I really hate flying".

After 2 days in the hospital, the doctor said, " I'm sorry, but your father's case is hopeless". David felt so sad but talked to his father about what the doctor said.  His father accepted his fate and said, " well, if that's the case, listen carefully  as I will tell you now about my last will and testaments". David listened carefully and sadly but one last request his father asked was, "Son, if I'll die here in the hospital, please don't bring me home by plane, I HAVE AIR SICKNESS, you see".

Hi flamen000,

   As you may know, "Last Will and Testament", is used in English-speaking culture to describe what a person wishes to happen after they have died (it's usually all about their possessions, but a "Last Will and Testament" can include other requests, as it does here).

   So, the joke here is that David's father is saying he doesn't want his body flown back to his home because he suffers from air sickness, but of course, as he would already be dead, he wouldn't feel anything anyway!

(:)) Smile
