Dying

A son and father went to see a doctor since the father was
getting very ill. The doctor told the father and son that the father was
dying from cancer.

The father who was an Irishman, turned to his son and said, "Son, even
on this gloomy day, its our tradition to drink to health as it  is in
death, so let's go to the pub and celebrate my demise."

Reluctantly, the son follows his father to the local pub. There, while
enjoying their ale, the father sees some old friends and tells them he
is dying from AIDS.

Shocked, the son turns to his father and says, "Father, it is not
AIDS you are dying from, it is cancer, why did you lie to those men?"

The father replies, "Aye, my son, you are right; but I don't want
those guys sleeping with your mom when I'm gone."
