A man goes to the doctors feeling a little ill.
The doctor checks him over and says, "Sorry, I have some bad news, you 
have Yellow 24, a really nasty virus.

It's called Yellow 24 because it turns your blood yellow and you usually 
only have 24 hours to live.

There's no known cure so just go home and enjoy your final precious 
moments on earth."

So he trudges home to his wife and breaks the news.

Distraught, she asks him to go to the bingo with her that evening as 
he's never been there with her before.

They arrive at the bingo and with his first card he gets four corners 
and wins £35.

Then, with the same card, he gets a line and wins £320 Then he gets the 
full house and wins £1000.

Then the National Grid comes up and he wins that too getting £380,000

The bingo caller gets him up on stage and says, "Son, I've been here 20 
years and I've never seen anyone win four corners, a line, the full 
house and the national grid on the same card.  You must be the luckiest 
man on Earth!"

"Lucky?" he screamed.  "Lucky?  I'll have you know I've got Yellow 24."

"Bugger me," says the bingo caller.  "You've won the raffle as well !!
