NHS

Not to sure if this one works, just one I was thinking about while having my breakfast. Any feedback will be appreciated as always!

A DOCTOR IS SITTING WITH HIS PATIENT, THE PATIENT IS PUTTING HIS TOP BACK ON.

Patient
(PUTS TOP BACK ON AND SITS DOWN ON CHAIR) So, whats up with me? Have you got my test results from last week?

Doctor
Yes I have, the test results were mixed and gave us some good news but also some rather bad news.

Patient
What do you mean, bad news?

Doctor
Well, unfortunately you are going to have to need several operations and a massive amount of treatment.

Patient
When will all this start?

Doctor
I'll put you on the waiting list today because with the NHS, there seems to be a rather long waiting list for your type of treatment.

Patient
OK, but how long will I have to wait before I'm seen to?

Doctor
Around 12 months I'm afraid. You see there are a number of reasons for this, mainly a lot admin work and poorly ran hospital wards. It's a disgrace when you think about it, I'm not a big fan of the nations hospitals and, between me and you, am glad I'm not the one having to spend days, even weeks, in them grotty little rooms with those cheesy posters. I feel for you mate seriously having to wait all that time just to get into the bloody building so the can try and fix you.

Patient
OK(LOOKS SHOCKED) thanks Doctor (GETS UP AND WALKS TOWARDS THE DOOR) Oh, whats the good news?

Doctor
You only have three months to live.(LOOKS UP AND SMILES)

Oi! I'm me, you're you you cheeky fukker

How do you know that for certain? n.b. before flying way off topic, good skit wasn't it?

Yes and it always will be however its used.

I wonder how many 'good news' punchlines there could be though...

Bad news, the planes going to crash.

Good news, we're right above The My Family studio

Loads

Yeah very good it is an old joke but I think you gave it something a bit 'new' if you no what I mean!!
