The Checkup Results

A man goes for his annual checkup. Afterward, he's sitting in the doctor's office, and the doctor comes in with the results of his tests. The doctor says, "I have some bad news; you have cancer and Alzheimer's." The man replies, "Well, at least I don't have cancer."

Explanation

Experiment

The humor comes from the man's reaction to the bad news. He has both cancer and Alzheimer's, but he forgets that he was just told he has cancer and focuses only on the Alzheimer's diagnosis, finding comfort in thinking he doesn't have cancer. This play on memory loss is used for a humorous effect. It highlights the absurdity of the situation and the way a failing mind can twist reality.

Ha ha, yes I like this one. I tell it to mother's tombstone all of the time.

Oof how do so many ppl not understand these jokes. It’s like the joke at the beginning, “dark humor is like food; not everyone gets it” couldn’t agree more. Anyway he forgot what was said to him cuz he’s got Alzheimer’s

Wouldn't be surprised if that was trump's dumbass

I agree with The One That Rants.
