Philosophy humor — The relativity of time

A woman is told by her doctor that she has six months to live.

“Is there anything I can do?” she asks.

“Yes,” the doctor replies. “You could marry a tax accountant.”

“How will that help my illness?” the woman asks.

“Oh, it won’t help your illness,” says the doctor, “but it will make that six months seem like an eternity!”
