"Doctor, doctor, what's the news?"

"I'm afraid it's not good. The Braves lost the pennant."

"No, you idiot! The news about me."

"Oh, that. Oh, you'll be fine."

"So, I'm not going to die."

"No, you're going to die, and die soon."

"What?! You just said I was going to be fine."

"Okay, if you want to split hairs..."

05/5/2003 qualcomm (5): This one's pretty funny. I think it got a bum rap.
09/19/2003 qualcomm: that's funny, this short used to be ranked pretty low and now it has a perfect score. don't get me wrong, i think it's terrific, but it sure renders my comment below meaningless.
09/19/2003 Will Disney: yeah - what were you talking about? your first comment doesn't make any sense.
12/19/2003 Ewan Snow: I think acme somehow forgets old votes, cuz Disney's marchitecture isn't fault tolerant.
12/19/2003 qualcomm: no, disney had a bad-vote amnesty a while back i think.
12/22/2003 Will Disney: yeah, a while back we nuked all the old votes that weren't attributed (from the bad old days) and some bad votes for this short must have been cleaned out. but my marchitecture is fault-tolerant, sort of, fucker!
02/24/2004 scoop (5): yeah, this is funny. I can hear the inapprpriate orchestral equivalent of a sit-com rimshot on this one.
06/22/2004 TheBuyer (4): Man, I thought I told old jokes.
