Three desperately ill men....

[All tiied up]

Three desperately ill men
Met with their doctor one day to discuss their options. One was an
Alcoholic, one was a Chain-Smoker, and one was a Homosexual.

The doctor, addressing all three of them, said, "If any of you indulge
In your vices one more time, you will surely die."

The men left the doctor's office, each convinced that he would never
Again indulge himself in his vice

While walking toward the subway for their return trip to the suburbs,
They passed a bar. The Alcoholic, hearing the loud music and smelling
The ale, could not stop himself. His buddies accompanied him into the
Bar, where he had a shot of whiskey. No sooner had he replaced the shot
Glass on the bar,
He fell off his stool, stone cold dead.

His companions, somewhat shaken, left the bar, realizing how seriously
They must take the doct or's words. As they walked along, they came upon
Cigarette butt lying on the ground, still burning.
The Homosexual looked at the Chain-Smoker and said, "You know if you
Bend over to pick that up, we're both dead."
