Good news first. Let me know what assets I have to work with, then I can fix the problem you're about to lay on me.

Good news first : you know there's something negative coming next that may ruin the good news.
Bad news first : you know there's Something positive coming next that may fix the bad news.

Fear Vs hope, I'm choosing hope.

No one's ever said that to me. Must be a culture thing.
 
Don't care, but when I just have bad news I set it up, tell them the bad news, and then follow up with, "The good news is I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to GEICO."

The laughter tends to soften the bad news.

always bad first, that way my expectations are lowered for what will inevitably be disappointing good news.
