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 than he
fell off his stool, stone cold dead.
His companions, somewhat shaken, left the bar, realizing how seriously
they must take the doctor's words. As they walked along, they came upon a
cigarette butt lying on the ground, still burning. The chain-smoker looked
at it and paused.
The homosexual saw what he was thinking and said, "You know if you
bend over to pick that up, we're both dead."
