A man is talking to his doctor after undergoing a whole range of tests to try and find out what’s wrong with him.
The doctor sits him down and says, “I’m so sorry to have to tell you this, but the results are back, and I’m afraid it’s fatal.”
“Oh no!” exclaims the man, “How long do I have?”
“Ten,” says the doctor.
“What, years? Months?!”
“Nine...”
Listen up, buttercup. This joke is about a guy who goes to the doctor and finds out he's gonna kick the bucket. He asks how long he's got, and the doc says "ten." The dude's all freaked out, wondering if it's years or months, but the doc just keeps counting down like a freaking time bomb. It's dark because it's about death, but it's funny 'cause of the unexpected countdown. Get it now, genius?
