An Irishman named Murphy went to his doctor after a long illness.
The doctor, after a lengthy examination, sighed and looked Murphy
in the eye and says,
"I've some bad news for you. You have cancer and it can't be
cured. I'd give you two weeks to a month."
Murphy shocked and saddened by the news, but of solid character
managed to compose himself and walk from the doctor's office into
the waiting room. There he saw his son who had been waiting.
Murphy said,
"Son, we Irish celebrate when things are good and celebrate when
things don't go so well. In this case, things aren't too well. I
have cancer, and I've been given a short time to live. Let's head
for the pub and have a few pints."
After three or four pints, the two were feeling a little less
somber. There were some laughs and more beers. They were
eventually approached by some of Murphy's old friends who asked
what the two were celebrating. Murphy told them that the Irish
celebrate the good and the bad. He went on to tell them that they
were drinking to his impending end. He told his friends,
"I've only got a few weeks to live as I have been diagnosed with
AIDS."
The friends gave Murphy their condolences and they had a couple
more beers. After his friends left, Murphy's son leaned over and
whispered his confusion.
"Dad, I thought you said that you're dying from cancer? You just
told your friends that you were dying from AIDS?"
Murphy said, "I am dying from cancer, son, I just don't want any
of them !!!!!!!s sleeping with your mother after I'm gone".
