The woman was shocked, but managed to compose herself and walk into thewaiting room where her daughter had been waiting."Well daughter, we women celebrate when things are good, and wecelebrate when things don't go so well. In this case, things aren'twell. I have cancer. Let's head to the club and have a martini."

After 3 or 4 martinis, the two were feeling a little less somber. Therewere some laughs and more martinis. They were eventually approached bysome of the woman's old friends, who were curious as to what the twowere celebrating. The woman told her friends they were drinking to herimpending end."I've been diagnosed with AIDS." The friends were aghast and gave thewoman their condolences.

After the friends left, the woman's daughter leaned over and whispered,Mum, I thought you said you were dying of cancer, and you just told yourfriends you were dying of AIDS."

The woman said, "I don't want any of those cows sleeping with yourfather after I'm gone."
