After fighting going into a nursing home every inch of the way, the old man was in a good mood.
His son was happy for him and asked him what made him change his mood.

The next week, as soon as his son enters the room, his father demanded to leave.
“What happened, Pop? What about the, uh, sponge baths?”

“Every time I fart they give me an enema!” yelled his father.

“Well, you know what you used to tell me. In life you have to learn to take the good with the bad.”

“Son, you don’t understand. I get wood about every week or so. I fart a couple dozen times a day!”
