A little 4th of July levity

 I just read this joke today and had to pass it on.......

A man went to his doctor not feeling well. After a series of tests the doctor came back into the room with the results. He told the man he had bad news, it was a fatal disease. The man said "How long do I have doctor?"
The doctor answered "10." The man said "What kind of an answer is that? Ten months, ten days, what?"
The doctor looked at his watch and said "9."
