joke - funny or offensive? [View all]

I post here thinking this demographic might be more receptive than the general public

Doctor: I'm afraid I have two bits of bad news
Patient: ouch. Ok, give me the first one
Dr: well, you have cancer
P: you're right, that is bad. What's the other one?
Dr: you have Alzheimer's
P: well, at least I don't have cancer
