Doctor's Bad Timing

A man receives a phone call from his doctor.

The doctor says, "I have some good news and some bad news."

The man says, "OK, give me the good news first."

The doctor says, "The good news is, you have 24 hours to live."

The man replies, "Oh no! If that's the good news, then what's the bad news?"

The doctor says, "The bad news is, I forgot to call you yesterday."

Explanation

Experiment

The humor comes from the unexpected twist. The doctor presents the news of a 24-hour life expectancy as the good news, setting up a morbid scenario. The punchline is the doctor's forgetfulness, which is an absurdly mundane bad news compared to the good news, and creates an ironic twist of expectation.
