Good New/Bad News

[derekpara]

If someone says to you, ' I've got good news and bad news, which would you like first?' What would be your answer ?

[Vagus]

Have had this said many times, always choose bad news first.

[cashier]

Bad news.

[237SJ]

Bad news first and then anything else is a bonus.

^^^ I'm not so sure about 237SJ's answer:

Bad news: "You're going to die next Monday".

Good news: "You've won that dream holiday you've always wanted. It starts next Tuesday".

;-)

[237SJ]

^ That only works if you are not told both bad and good news though.

Art dealer to artist: "I've got good news and bad news for you."
Artist: "What's the good news?"
Art dealer: "I've sold every one of your paintings."
Artist: "OK, what's the bad news?"
Art dealer: "The buyer wanted to know if your works would increase in value after you died."
Artist: "What's so bad about that?"
Art dealer: "The buyer was your doctor."

Doctor to patient - "I have good news and bad news.

The bad news is, your condition is terminal.

The good news is, that nurse you really fancy? I've got a date with her tonight!!"

Bad news first, then the good news can cheer you up!

Cheers. D
