Three desparately ill men met with their doctor one day to discuss their options.

One was an alchoholic, one a chain smoker, and one a homosexual. Their doctor, addressing all three of them, said 'If any of you indulge in your vices even one more time, you will surely die!'

The men left the doctor's office, each vowing to never again allow himself to indulge in his vice.

While walking away from the doctor's office the trio passed a bar.

Despite the objections of his friends the alchoholic was unable to resist the siren call of the alchohol.

His buddies accompanied him inside and watched in horror as he fell off his stool, dead after one shot of whiskey.

His companions left the bar, fully realizing how seriously they should take the doctor's words.

As they walked they came upon a cigarette lying on the ground, still burning.

The homosexual looked at the chain smoker and said, 'You know if you bend over to pick that up, we're both dead!'
