Marry an Englishman

Jean called into her doctor's office in Dunoon after undergoing a physical examination and an array of tests. Her doctor said, "I have some very bad news for you, Jean. I am sorry to tell you that you have just six months to live." "What can I do ?" cried Jean. Her doctor replied at once, "Marry an Englishman." "Will that make my life longer ?" Jean asked. "No," said her doctor, "but it will seem longer."
