An old man gets two doses of bad news from his doctor...But which is worse?

"Well Dale, your results are in... I have some bad news and some really bad news."

"Just hit me with the worst first Doc. What's the really bad news? Get it out of the way."

The doctor takes a deep breath and prepares to tell Dale the news.

"Ok... Dale you do have lung cancer. Third stage and its aggressive."

Dale, stunned by the news lowers his head to his hands, obviously deeply troubled by the horrible news. You can hear the despair in his voice. "Jeez Doc. Well that's just terrible. Don't know how I'm gonna tell the wife."

After a few moments of silence, Dale, trying to act normally gets his wits together and says, "Well that's been said and its done. What's the bad news? Pretty sure I can take anything now Doc."

The doctor looks back up at Dale and tells him, "Dale you also have Alzheimer's Disease."

Again, Dale is stunned and not taking the news well. His head goes back to his hands and after a little thinking, he looks up at the doctor and says:

"Well, at least I don't have cancer."
