CHALLENGE: A doctor visits a patient in a hospital room. “I’m sorry,” says the doctor, “but I have good news and bad news.” “Tell me everything,” says the man. “Tell me the bad news first.” The doctor replies, “Your accident was worse than we thought. We had to amputate both your legs.” The man asks, “So what is the good news?” The doctor replies, “The man in the bed next to you wants to buy your slippers.”
