A fellow goes to see his doctor because he's been feeling quite poorly of late. The doctor runs a long series of tests and tells the fellow to come back for the results in two days.
Two days later, the fellow goes back to the doctor. He is waiting in the examination room when the doctor comes in with his results:
"I have bad news and terrible news," says the doctor.
"Don't you mean good news and bad news, doctor?" asks the patient.
"No," says the doctor, "bad news and terrible news."
"Well, what's the bad news?" asks the patient.
"You only have forty-eight hours to live," the doctor answers.
"That's TERRIBLE!" cries the patient.
"No, the terrible news is I meant to call you the day before yesterday." replied the doctor.

Next time I send some damned fool, I'll go myself...
