bad news and good news
A man answers the telephone to find a doctor from the hospital's emergency room on the other end. "Sir," explains the doctor, "Your wife was in a serious car accident. I have bad news and good news."
The man, taken back, asks hesitatntly, "What's the bad news?"
"The bad news is your wife has lost all use of both arms and both legs. She will likely be on a respirator for the rest of her life."
"Heavens, Doc, what's the good news?"
The doctor replies, "I'm kidding. She's dead."
police interview
A new recruit police officer had almost finished his interview, and the interviewer asked him the last question which was:
"You are on duty. A car crashes in the middle of the road with two people inside the car, the two people are critically injured and the car is bady damaged.
The ambulance arrives, but it is going too fast and crashes into the damaged car. The car blows up and causes the ambulance to flip on its side.
A passer-by, while walking on the sidewalk is toppled, by the force of the explosion, into the river beside the road. Unfortunately he cannot swim and is drowning in the river.
Another man runs out of a house screaming, and shouts that his wife is pregnant and about to have her baby any second now.
"What would you do in this situation?", the interviewer asked.
The recruit looks around the office and thinks for a while... he replies, "I'd take off my uniform and disappear into the crowd!"
