Text 1
“The doctor said I’ve got some good news and some bad news,”
“What’s the bad news?”
“The bad news is that only have three months to live.”
The patient gets really upset, and says, “What’s the good news?”
The doctor looks at him and says, “I just had sex with your wife.”

This joke was told in the setting of my apartment at Indiana University. A group of friends were sitting watching TV, and asked to tell any jokes they had heard. Samantha told this joke of the “good news and bad news,” and had recently heard this joke from her boyfriend.
