Doctor: I have some good news and I have some bad news,

Doctor: I have some good news and I have some bad news, which shall I
tell first?
Patient: Do begin with the bad news, please.
Doctor: All Right. Your son has drowned, your daughter has been raped,
your wife has divorced you, your house got blown away, and you
have AIDS."
Patient: Good grief! What's the good news?
Doctor: The good news is that there is no more bad news.
