An Irishman named O'Malley went to his doctor after a long illness. The doctor after a lengthy examination, sighed and looked at O'Malley and said "I have some bad news for you. You have cancer, and it can't be cured. You had best put your affairs in order." O'Malley was shocked and saddened. But being a solid character, he managed to compose himself and walk from the doctor's office into the waiting room where his son was waiting. "Well son, we Irish celebrate when things are bad and when things don't go well. In this case, things aren’t so well. I have cancer. Let's go to the pub and have a few pints." After 3 or 4 pints the two were feeling a little less somber. There were some laughs and some more beers. They were eventually approached by some of O'Malleys friends, who were curious as to what the two were celebrating. O'Malley told them that the Irish celebrate the good as well as the bad. He went on to tell his friends that they were drinking to his impending end. He told his friends " I have been diagnosed with AIDS. The friends gave their condolences, and they had a few more beers. After the friends were gone the son leaned over to O'Malley and said in confusion "Dad I thought you told me you were dying of cancer, and you just told your friends you were dying of AIDS!" O'Malley said "I don't want any of them sleeping with your Mother after I am gone." You gotta love the Irish.
