So, I'm going to my cousin's birthday this week and my mother commented about how everytime that I travel to somewhere I get sick or injured in some way and since I'm already sick, maybe I'll going to get something worse So I said: "Yeah, I'm going with a cold and come back with cancer" And damn, she got like, MAD/10, or PISTOLA/10! It's has been a time since I saw her so mad lol Yeah, it seems that cancer isn't funny yet, even it being already more than 10 years old =( ppl can't appreciate a good joke
My Mom died of cancer couple years ago, I don't think that joke was too much, or sarcasm w/e u wanna call it
Not that cancer isn't funny but that it would only be ur doctor and hospital laughing... all the way to the bank.
Ya the bills were ridiculous, and they didn't even help her. Started at breast cancer, then said it was better, then it somehow spread everywhere and that's it.
It's all funny and stuff till you or one of you close family members got cancer. How i know? My father died of cancer it was already too late when it was found out. Stage 4 and was already spreading throughout his body the hopelessness and despair you feel as your father is slowly changing away and dying off that kind of feeling will always stick to you for the rest of your life. Also some doctors out there likes to give false hopes when they knew it was already too late why they do it? so they can milk more money out of you.
Everyone got mad at me when I made a cancer joke the day my uncle got it. I had no idea at the time, but my brother thought it was funny how bad my timing was.
After seeing mom go through it and die, dad told us if he ever got it he would rather not be treated and just go with it till he died
I totally understand his feelings. A family friend who happens to be a doctor did not take chemotherapy because he knows the effects of it and just waited for his time.
It all depends on the humor of the other party. I have a friend who was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer, and is currently going through periodic rounds of Chemo. He deals with his condition through dark humor, and we certainly oblige him. I crack cancer jokes with him all the time.
Wait for a cure to be made first and then when it's not as serious as it is now then people can treat it like a joke I guess?
At that point it wouldn't be funny though, since the humour of it comes from the seriousness. By that point it would be like joking about dying of a cold or something, not too great of material if you ask me.
Might be a deeper issue here, might wana have a serious talk with your mommy to see if there isnt something she hasn't told ya. Could be nothing, but it took my dad years before he told us he had cancer. Guess he had it for a while and it went I to remission. When it came back this time around we only because his last round of chemo made him to dizzy to drive and he wanted someone with him just in case...
You should make a joke about mad cows. "I'm like a sick cow, I'd be nuzzling people while milking myself." or "I'm so sick I'd take a dump in the middle of the lawn and you'd all be sicking your way to the pediatric ward."
Not too great of a material maybe but atleast the chances of people getting mad and scolding you will lessen drastically
