Big C
So, I was reading Tony Snow's advice to some blogger person who was just diagnosed with cancer. It's excellent advice and well worth reading, whether you have cancer or not.
That's not why I linked it, though.
In the course of reading it, I had this snippet of dialog appear in my head. Proving once again that if you can't joke about cancer, what can you joke about?
WOMAN #1: Thomas was just diagnosed with the Big C.WOMAN #2: Cancer? Oh my God! I'm so sorry to hear it!
WOMAN #1: Cancer?! Good lord, no! The Clap.
WOMAN #2: I thought the Clap was the Little C.
WOMAN #1: No, the Little C is crabs.
WOMAN #2: So, if the Clap is the Big C, what kind of C is cancer?
WOMAN #1: [thinking] I don't believe it has a C. It's just cancer.
