How common are strokes?

An old's-gold kind humour…
A man is sitting in bar, looking at his drink. He stays like that for half-an-hour, when a big bully of a truck driver comes up, takes the drink and downs it. The man starts crying.
The truck driver says: "Come on, I was just joking. Here' I'll buy you another drink. I just can't see a man crying".

The police said they couldn't help. I took a cab home, and after the driver left, I found I had left my wallet in the cab. I went in and my wife and I fought, and she said she was walking out. So I came to this bar. And when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison…"
