I like it!
Your first sentence reminded me of a joke a good friend told me, where the doctor was telling the patient "I have good news and bad news." "What's the good news?" "The tests showed you have 48 hours to live." "Well then, what could possibly be the bad news?" "I forgot to call you yesterday." :)
Dark humor time!
Doc-Sir, bad news... you have 10 more to live...
Patient- 10 what?
Doc- 9...
