This guys at work when he receives a call from
the hospital informing him that his wifes been in
an accident. He rushes to the emergency room where
hes met by the doctor. They sit down in the waiting
room and the doctor, with a very solemn look on his
face starts to speak. But before he can, the guy
interrupts.

Guy: Doc, dont tell me my wifes dead. I just cant take it. Really, I cant
take it. I love her.

Doctor: Well, sir, I do have some bad news.
Again the guy interrupts.

Guy: Doc, just tell me, did she make it?
Doctor: As I was saying, we did all we could. Right
now shes in a vegatative state, which is likely
where shell remain for the rest of her life. She
can stay here overnight, but after that, youll have
to take her home because your insurance doesnt cover
this type of thing.

The guy slumps, just crushed.

Doctor: With the right care, which will include you feeding her five times
a day, cleaning her and giving her constant care on a daily basis, shell likely
live for at least another 30 years.

The guy sinks even lower, just crushed, and starts to cry.

Doctor: As I said, your insurance doesnt cover this kind of care, so youll
have to make some sort of arrangements to purchase the equipment youll need
for your wife. I would suggest you put your house on the market today and sell
it as quickly as possible and buy a mobile home. Youre gonna need the excess
cash. It should be enough to buy the equipment your wife needs and for you
to live on for the next couple of months. By then, you should be able to qualify
for welfare and other forms of state and federal aid.

By this point, the guy is sobbing uncontrollably.
The doctor reaches over, puts his hand on his shoulder
and says, Hey, look at me. The guy looks up and
the doctor smiles and says, Im just fucking with
you, shes dead.
