Could have been worse

Mr Lee always looked on the bright side. He would constantly irritate his friends with his eternal optimism. No matter how horrible the circumstance, he would always reply, “It could have been worse.” To cure him of his annoying habit, his friends decided to invent a situation so completely bad, so terrible, that even Lee could find no hope in it.

On the badminton court one day, one of them said, “Lee, did you hear about Alan? He came home last night, found his wife in bed with another man, shot them both and then turned the gun on himself!”

“That`s awful,” said Mr Lee, “But it could have been worse.”

“How in the hell,” asked his bewildered friend, “Could it have been worse?”

“Well,” replied Mr Lee, “If it happened the night before, I would be a dead man.” :)
