Joke for the Day


 A man walks into a doctors...

A man walks into a doctors and says- 

'Everybody thinks I'm a liar.'

The doctor replies 

'I don't believe you.'

Like the 'man walks into a bar' jokes I looked at last week 'doctor' jokes are popular in most countries where English is the first language. 

Like the ones above they can be one-liners (see last week's post for vocabulary) and they are often based on some kind of pun or word play. Being bad and/or silly is what most people find amusing. 

They can also be longer and the set up often involves the line 'I've got some bad news...' These 'doctor' jokes usually involve telling someone they are going to die and the punchline informs the patient that they will die sooner that they expect. 

'A man goes to his doctor for a complete checkup. He hasn't been feeling well and wants to find out if he's ill. After the checkup the doctor comes out with the results of the examination.


"I'm afraid I have some bad news. You're dying and you don't have much time," the doctor says.

"Oh no, that's terrible. How long have I got?" the man asks.

"10..." says the doctor.

"10? 10 what? Months? Weeks? What?!" he asks desperately.

"10...9...8...7..."

There are other sub-types of these jokes which include dentists, gynecologists (we won't go there... No pun intended).


P.S. Sorry there was no post on Friday but I had 'technical problems' (accidentally deleted it!).
