I've shared this joke before but I think it is actually specifically suited to this thread:

-- A man goes up to a newspaper stand, buys a copy of the New York Times, takes one look at the front page, and throws it away with a disappointed look on his face.

Every day, he comes back to the newspaper stand, buys a copy of the Times, looks over the front page, gets disappointed, and then throws the paper away without opening it.

This goes on for a few weeks, and finally the man running the stand asks him, "Why do you keep buying a paper and not reading it?"

He replies, "I'm just looking for an obituary."

"But there aren't any obituaries on the front page."

"This one will be."
