An elderly man named Bill went to his doctor for his annual physical.
After a long examination, the doctor walked back into the room looking unusually serious.
He sat down, took a deep breath, and said,
“Bill… I’m afraid I have some bad news.”
Bill frowned.
“How bad?”
The doctor replied,
“Our tests show you only have about six weeks left to live.”
Bill stared at him in disbelief.
“Six weeks? That can’t be right!”
“Doc, I feel fantastic. I haven’t felt this healthy in years!”
“Isn’t there anything I can do?”
The doctor thought for a moment.
Then his face brightened.
“Actually… yes.”
Bill leaned forward hopefully.
“Really? What is it?”
The doctor smiled.
“There’s a brand-new health spa just down the road.”
“Go there every single day…”
“…and take a nice relaxing mud bath.”
Bill’s eyes lit up.
“Wonderful! Will it help me live longer?”
The doctor shook his head.
“No…”
He paused just long enough…
“…but it’ll help you get used to being covered in dirt.” 😂
