A man has been feeling under the weather for some time, he finally decides to go to his doctor for a complete check-up.
He has some tests and the doctor comes back with the results.
The doctor looks very serious, and says, “I’m afraid I have some very bad news. You’re dying and you don’t have much time left.”
“Oh no,” says the man, “How long have I got?”
“Ten,” the doctor says grimly.
“Ten?” the man asks, “Ten what? Months, years, weeks, what?”
“Nine.”
