Hey Clem, Here's a good news bad news joke for you.

Okay, A guy wakes up in the hospital regaining consciousness slowly.

He sees someone standing at the foot of the hospital bed. Through a haze, gradually he is able to focus. He asks where am I ?

The person standing there is wearing scrubs and a stethoscope. He replies ,' You are at St. Anthony's Hospital. I am Doctor Feldman, You were in an accident. The semi conscious man asks " What happened?" the Doctor replies" You were on your motorcycle and were hit by a bus." He is quickly brought to attention and asks" How bad was it?" Dr. Feldman pauses and replies, "Well, I have some bad news and some good news." The patient says, "What's the bad news Doctor?" Doctor replies, I am so sorry but you lost both your feet."

Agonizing moans and tremors overtake the man as he processes this 'bad news' "Oh my god, that's horrible." there are some tears and an awkward silence of a few moments.

Finally regaining some composure the man asks " What could possibly be the good news?" doctor Feldman replies, " Well.... the guy in the bed next to you, wants to buy your boots."
