A Close Shave

A fella's at work when he receives a call from the hospital informing him that his wife's been in an accident. He rushes to A&E where he's met by the doctor. They sit down in the waiting room and the doctor,with a solemn look on his face starts to speak. Immediately,they guy interrupts.

Guy: Doc,don't tell me she's dead. I can't take it. I love her.

Doctor: Well,sir, I do have some bad news.

Guy: Doc,just tell me,did she make it?

Doctor: As I was saying,we did all we could. Right now she is in a vegitative state,which is likely where she'll remain for the rest of her life. She can stay overnight here,but then you'll have to take her home. Your insurance doesn't cover this type of thing.

The guy slumps,just crushed.

Doctor: With the right care,which will include you feeding her five times a aday,cleaning her and givig her constant care on a daily basis,she'll at least live for at least another 30 years.

The guy's in tears.

Doctor: As i said,your insurance dosen't cover this kind of care,so you'll need to buy the equipment you'll need for your wife. I suggest you put your house on the market today and sell it as soon as possible and buy a mobile home. You're 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.

Now 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, "I was just messing with you. She is dead"
