    Some people
    I just had a women come up to my desk and describe all the horrible things that her friend with throat cancer had to endure. (Like I haven't been there done that). I just asked her if her friend survived. She told me yes. I told her that I guess it was worth it then.

    How True!
    Funny post fuzzydoug!

    I agree with the 4 you had and also the "cancer eyes" by Deb. And the wisecrack is by far the one I like the best. When I told a good buddy who is a survivor about me when I first found out (in probably too somber of a tone) he said "Shut up, quit feeling sorry for yourself. Grab your fishing rod, let's go do something important". Exactly what I needed.

    The one that drives me kinda nuts is the ones who absolutely refuse to talk about it, ask about it or even acknowledge it. I don't need the attention, but a couple of these are really close friends. I don't know if they afraid of it or if they think by ignoring it, I actually won't have it. But I don't have time to coddle them so they are the ones I usually skip on seeing if I have a choice.

    Best to everyone!

    PS - Gotta go as there's a penguin on my telly. Oh I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep all night and work all day, On Wednesdays I go shopping and have buttered scones and tea, I cut down trees, I eat my lunch, I cut down trees, I skip and jump, I love to press wildflowers, I put on wome......

    I better stop there, someone might think I actually do that (now I'll be singing that song all night long)

    The Things You Hear ...
    Omigosh I'm on board with number four ... I'm speechless at the stories I've heard. People start out telling me a story ... and I think it's going somewhere positive ... and then suddenly the story goes, "... and then he died." I find myself shaking my head going, "Really? Really?"

    It's mind boggling ... I would never say these things to someone whose husband has cancer ... what are they thinking?

    Wow
    They can't be thinking before they speak. That erks me when they do that. My prayer partner came up to me in the post office in front of people & started telling me how her brother had thyroid cancer & didn't make it, then her cousin & now her husband's had come back. then she looked me up & down & said "good luck with your's" I mean, my prayer partner? don't pray for me or my husband with that attitude!

    "I'm not dead yet!"

    RELATIVE: Here's one, nine pence.
    OLD MAN: I'm not dead!
    CART PUSHER: What?
    RELATIVE: Nothing, here's your nine pence.
    OLD MAN: I'm not dead!
    CART PUSHER: Here, he says he's not dead!
    RELATIVE: Yes, he is.
    OLD MAN: I'm not!
    CART PUSHER: He isn't.
    RELATIVE: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
    OLD MAN: I'm getting better!
    RELATIVE: No, you're not. You'll be stone dead in a moment.
    CART PUSHER: Oh, I can't take him like that. It’s against regulations.
    OLD MAN: I don't want to go in the cart!
    RELATIVE: Oh don't be such a baby.
    CART PUSHER: I can't take him.
    OLD MAN: I feel fine!
    RELATIVE: Oh, do us a favor.
    CART PUSHER: I can't.
    RELATIVE: Well, can you hang around a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
    CART PUSHER: Naaah. I got to go on to Robinson's. They've lost nine today.
    RELATIVE: Well, when is your next round?
    CART PUSHER: Thursday.
    OLD MAN: I think I'll go for a walk.
    RELATIVE: You're not fooling anyone y'know. Look, isn't there something you can do?
    OLD MAN: I feel happy! I feel happy!

    WHAM!!

    RELATIVE: Ah, thanks very much.
    CART PUSHER: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
    RELATIVE: Right.


    Ah the things our "loved ones" say to us! :-D

    One of my most favorite scenes in one of my most favorite movies. How appropriate! Or, inappropriate, as the case may be...

    Halibut
    Praline He is an halibut.
    Man You've got a pet halibut?
    Praline Yes. I chose him out of thousands. I didn't like the others, they were all too flat.

    Man You must be a loony.
    Praline I am not a looney! Why should I be tied with the epithet looney merely because I have a pet halibut? I've heard tell that Sir Gerald Nabardo has a pet prawn called Simon and you wouldn't call him a looney; furthermore, Dawn Pailthorpe, the lady show-jumper, had a clam, called Stafford, after the late Chancellor, Allan Bullock has two pikes, both called Chris, and Marcel Proust had an haddock! So, if you're calling the author of 'A la recherche du temps perdu' a looney, I shall have to ask you to step outside!
    Man All right, all right, all right. You want a licence.
    Praline Yes.
    Man For a fish.
    Praline Yes.
    Man You are a loony.
    Praline Look, it's a bleeding pet, isn't it? I've got a license for me pet dog Eric, and I've got a license for me pet cat Eric...
    Man You don't need a license for a cat.
    Praline I bleeding well do and I got one. Ho, ho, you're not catching me out there.
    Man There's no such thing as a bloody cat license.
    Praline Yes there is!
    Man No there isn't!
