“Well, Mr Smith, I have some good news and bad news.”
“Sounds intriguing. What’s the bad news, doctor?”
“The bad news is you appear to be dead.”
“Dead? What do you mean, dead? I can’t be dead. Look, I’m talking to you right now.”
“Yes. There do appear to be some unusual irregularities associated with your condition. Nevertheless, you are dead. You have no pulse, no brain activity and your organ system has completely failed.”
“How disappointing. What’s the good news, by the way?”
“My brother-in-law owns a funeral services company. Special deals next week. 10% off coffins and headstones.”
