A man went to the doctor because he was feeling unwell. The doctor examined him and said, "I have some bad news and some worse news for you. The bad news is that you have a rare and incurable disease. The worse news is that you only have 24 hours to live."
The man was shocked and devastated. He asked the doctor if there was anything he could do to prolong his life, but the doctor said there was nothing that could be done.
Feeling defeated, the man went home to spend his final hours with his loved ones. As he sat on his couch, contemplating his impending death, he suddenly had a brilliant idea.
He quickly called his ex-wife, who he had divorced years ago, and begged her to come over right away. When she arrived, he professed his love for her and begged for forgiveness for all the mistakes he had made in their marriage.
His ex-wife was stunned but moved by his words. She forgave him and they spent the next 23 hours reminiscing about their time together and making amends for the past.
As the clock struck midnight and the man's time was up, he looked at his ex-wife and said, "I have one last request. Will you please remarry me before I die?"
His ex-wife burst into tears and said, "Yes, of course I will!"
The man smiled and said, "Great! Do you mind if I start my new life as a married man by eating your favorite meal one last time?"
And that, my friends, is how a man outsmarted death and got one last laugh in before he passed away.
