The wife walks away with some minor cuts and bruises, but the husband is in critical condition and is rushed into surgery.
After 5 or 6 hours in the waiting room, the wife sees the doctor approaching in blood-stained scrubs.
"I've got good news and bad news," he says. "Which would you like first?"
The wife replies, "Give me the bad news first."
"Well, he'll survive, but he'll never be the same again. He suffered a traumatic brain injury, and is now incapable of caring for himself. The road ahead will require a lot from you — you'll have to bathe him, clean him, help him in the bathroom, make sure he gets his medications... It will be a lifelong commitment that can break even the most strong-willed partners."
By this point the wife is sobbing, and asks through her tears, "What on earth is the good news?"
The doctor replies, "The good news? I was just screwing with you. He died about an hour ago!"
