Not Long to Live

   Lou goes to the doctor’s office complaining of not feeling well.  The doctor runs some tests on him and in a few minutes comes back in.

   The doctor says, “Lou, sit down.  I’ve got some bad news.  You don’t have much time to live.”

   Lou is obviously upset about this, but asks, “How much longer do I have, Doc?”

   The doctor says, “10.”

   Lou says, “10 what?  10 weeks... 10 months... 10 years?”

   And the doctor replies, “9... 8... 7...”
