Ben's brother walks in to find Ben on the phone...
Ben: Yes, this is he.
...I'm doing well, doctor and you?
...Cool, cool. So I guess you got the results of the test back?
...What?
...WHAT?
...There must be some mistake - please, they've already disappeared. Really, I feel fine. I shouldn't even have...
...No, no. They aren't coming back. Not next month, not the month after that.
...WHAT?? THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS! Are you telling me you can contract both of those at the same time?
...What do you mean you have worse news?
...No - that can't be true. Doctor, I'm too young! I'm too young!
At this point Ben is crying. His brother, feeling sypathy for Ben, is crying as well. Ben's brother sits down and puts his arm around Ben in a show of support.
Ben (showing the phone handset to his brother): BOOM! Nobody is on the line! BOOM! Dial tone. I can't believe you bought that regalia, I got you palatially! BOOM!

The little known part of that story is that Ben's brother was faking the tears by imagining himself watching a Ravens game.
