A doctor walks up to a dying man and sadly says: "I'm sorry, the test shows you only have 10 more to live."
The man says "10!? 10 what!? Years? Weeks? Days? What?!!?"
The doctor calmly replies "Nine".
The Doctor's Countdown
Explanation
The humor comes from the doctor's response. The dying man is expecting a unit of time such as years, weeks, or days. Instead the doctor is already counting down the number from 10 to 9. The joke is darkly humorous because it implies the doctor's statement is not a prediction, but rather a countdown.
