An old man is feeling ill and goes to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor runs some tests and tells the man to come back in a week for the results.
The next week, the old man returns to the doctor's office and the doc says "I'm afraid I have bad news and worse news!"
The old guy thinks it over and says, "Okay, doc, give me the worst news first."
The doctor says, "You've got cancer and there's nothing we can do for you."
"Aw xxxx, I'm gonna die!" replies the old man.
"Yes," says the doctor. "And you only have a couple weeks to live."
The old man just sits there stunned by the news. After a few minutes he says, "Well, go ahead and give me the bad news."
The doctor replies "You've also got Alzheimer's disease!"
"Whew!" replies the old man... "At least I don't have cancer."
