Newspaper

I was explaining the risks of anesthesia to a patient before cardiac surgery... the patient said "no problem, I'm not going any where". I said I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page. The patient said "As long as I'm not on the front page, nor on the back page (obituaries), we're in good shape"

This patient really knows what humor is all about. Love the answer. :)

A newspaper is a scheduled publication containing news of current events, informative articles, diverse features, editorials, and advertising. It usually is printed on relatively inexpensive, low-grade paper such as newsprint. By 2007, there were 6,580 daily newspapers in the world selling 395 million copies a day. The worldwide recession of 2008, combined with the rapid growth of web-based alternatives, caused a serious decline in advertising and circulation, as many papers closed or sharply retrenched operations.
