Oh, sure -- you saw the title of the post, but you kept reading anyway. So no comments that it's offensive. You were warned.
The story I have for you isn't actually too bad. Not too dark, anyway, like a lot of cancer humor. It's about a guy named Jeffrey, who's just about my age, has six kids, and was being treated for testicular cancer. On the day of his first radiation treatment, he was exhausted, and after he and wife finally got the six kids to bed, they went to bed themselves and had a chance to talk about the day.
They kind of danced around the whole topic of the day's radiation treatment, his wife not wanting to talk about it unless he did. But she finally asked him how he was feeling. She told him he wasn't so good -- the radiation left his skin feeling very tender. He asked her if she'd take a look.
She started to peek under the covers, and jumped back when she saw a neon green glow.
Jeffrey, having kept his sense of humor, had placed a green glow-stick under the covers.....
Now, three things are important about that story:
First, it's great to have a supportive partner.
Second, it's great to have a sense of humor.
Third, if you have kids and they're going out for Halloween, buy some glow sticks so they'll be visable.
But mostly, keep your sense of humor.

That was a disappoinment.
You hooked me with the title.
Send the good stuff to my personal e-mail account. ;)

Yeah, I know. But that's what good writers do -- suck you right in. I try to avoid the whole testicular/prostate cancer humor thing, but that's where most of the funniest stuff is. "Funny" being pretty relative, of course....
Just remember, I'm an accountant at heart. We're right next to engineers on the humor food chain. Binary thinkers to an extreme. Jokes in our eyes are meant to be easy to understand, fairly simplistic, and quick to digest, so we can get back to our pathetic 9 to 5 existences.
