Leaning to one side

An elderly gentleman suffered from Alzheimer’s. His wife loved him very much, but just couldn’t handle him any longer and decided she would have to take him to a nursing home. At the home, while the wife was filling out paperwork, the old gentleman sat in a chair. Suddenly the man started leaning slowly to his left. A nurse ran over and put a pillow on his left side to prop him up. A few minutes later, he started leaning to his right. Again, the nurse ran over and put a pillow on his right side. Then he started leaning forward. This time, the nurse strapped him into the chair. By then, his wife had completed the paperwork. She asked him, “So? How do you like the place?” “It’s okay, I guess” he replied. “But, why won’t they let me fart?”
