An Irishman named O'Malley went to
his doctor after a long illness.
The doctor 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 but being a solid character, he managed to
compose himself and walk from the doctor's office into the waiting
room, where his son was waiting.
"Well son, we Irish celebrate when things are good, and we celebrate
whenthings don't go well. In this case, things aren't so well. I
have cancer. Let's head to the pub and have a few pints."
After 3 or 4 pints the two were feeling a little less somber..
There were some laughs and some more beers. They were eventually
approached by some of O'Malley's friends, who were curious as to
what the two were celebrating.
O'Malley told them 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."
You gotta love the Irish
