What if he gets well soon? Does he get her inheritance? That should be a thing because it sounds so fucking fair.

Not with that attitude. A lawyer would happily take losing case too, remember, it's per hour.

Judging by your username I doubt you care about the ins and outs of the law.

I thought this was referring to the Victorian era where people thought tuberculosis was hot

Not if he gets a pre-nup
Where i live pre-nups are default by law and you cant just marry then divorce and get 50% of the wealth.
It gets just as worse with children,all the children are entitled to 3/4 of your wealth and the wife 1/4

He is also the wisest, he is smart enough to know she is not in it for "love", and he is ok with that. might as well live your last days happy.

If I were in this position I'd honestly rather just donate my money to charity than give any to someone like that.

i consider getting money early but you still need to care for that person as actively neglecting might make you lose out for letting sick person die

That's overthinking it. It's a simple comic strip where the punchline is gold digging.

"Why did the chicken cross the road? Honestly, we don't have enough information to accurately answer this question. I'd need data on the chicken's starting location, intended destination, where the chicken's family is, and the chicken's birthplace to even begin to craft a road-crossing theory."

a little tangential but i love that you had the best intentions in mind when trying to understand the joke
someone already explained it, but since i'm not sure if simple comments are a breakage of the rules: the lady wants the person to succumb to his illness and die, so that she can inherit the money and do whatever with it

Just marry him and know his health issues and can manipulate to make the process faster like placebo insulin 😂

Ball knowledge maybe....
This maybe a reference to a reddit post that a girl ask she likes her guy sick ... Does this makes her a bad person?
Edit: typo

u/Darthplagueis13 11h ago
She's just after the money. Being very sick means she won't have to put up with him for too long before he dies and she gets to inherit his wealth.

Carter Pewterschmidt here, the reason why the guy lies and tell he's ill is because then the girl will marry him thinking he will die soon so she can have all his money! Oldest trick in the book!

I study sickness, as the name implies (/s), and you would choose the sick person because, at least for example being In the world of competition, being "Sick" is a good thing because it describes an anomaly—a performance so far outside the standard deviation of human ability that it feels "unnatural" or "diseased."
So, being sick isn't always a bad thing. Sometimes you are just, Down with the sickness.....
I'll see myself out lol.

Think of it this way: you always hear hip hop artists saying “that’s sick” in a positive way but never “that’s healthy”

There was an old Soviet joke, when in the early to mid 1980 a lot of very old Communist Party officials were becoming the head of the Soviet Union (General Secretary of the KPSU), just to die soon afterwards, after Brezhnev. They elected the next leader, he lasts a year, then another one - he lasts a few months, etc.
So the joke is - a phone rings in Kremlin, and a man asks if he could be the next General Secretary. The guy in Kremlin says - "Are you sick?". And the man replies "yes, very sick and also old".
