THE IRISHMAN
An Irishman named O'Malley went to his doctor after a long illness. The
doctor,
after lengthy examination, sighed and looked O'Malley in the eye and
said, "I've
some bad news for you. You have cancer, and it can't be cured. You'd best put
your affairs in order."
O'Malley was shocked and saddened. But, being a solid character, he managed
to
compose himself and walk from the doctor's office into the waiting room,
where
his son had been waiting. "Well son, we Irish celebrate when things are good,
and we celebrate when things don't go well. In this case, things aren't so
well.
I have cancer. Lets head to the pub and have a few pints."
After 3 or 4 pints, or more, the two were feeling a little less sombre. There
were some laughs and some more beers. They were eventually approached by
some
of O'Malley's old friends, who were curious as to what the two were
celebrating.
O'Malley told them that the Irish celebrate the good as well as the bad. He
went
on to tell his friends that they were drinking to his impending end. He told
his
friends, "I have been diagnosed with AIDS."
The friends gave O'Malley their condolences, and they had a couple of
more beers. After the friends left, O'Malley's son leaned over and
whispered his confusion. "Dad, I thought you told me that you were
dying of cancer, and you just told your friends that you were dying of
AIDS!"
O'Malley said, "I don't want any of them sleeping with your Mother after I am
gone."
