Doctor: So, I have good news and bad news.
Patient: Alright, I want the good news first.
Doctor: Okay. You have 24 hours to live.
Patient: WHAT?! What could be worse than that?!
Doctor: I've been trying to contact you since yesterday.
Explanation: A man goes to the doctor. After some tests, the doctor says, “I have two pieces of bad news for you. The first is that you have a very aggressive, incurable cancer. Even with treatment, you have a very slim chance of living past six months.”
“That’s terrible,” replies the man. “And what’s the second thing?”
“You also have Alzheimer’s disease,” says the doctor. “You’ll gradually lose your sense of self over time, forgetting all of your friends and family. Eventually, you may not even recognize your own wife.”
The man thinks for a bit and then says, “Well, at least I don’t have cancer!”
