PC humor?

Posted by bluegill @bluegill, Aug 6 11:25am

Lately I've been vacillating between focused motivation and deep sadness regarding my future. I find that strange humor can be very helpful to knock me out of a funk (If there is a related thread, please direct me to it).

I just skimmed through some New Yorker magazines, and the cartoons there are delightfully absurd.

I also take great comfort in cat videos on Youtube, with "I am Maru" being my favorite.

I also like dark humor, but I might offend someone if I post some of that here.

So, what puts a smile on your face?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

I have a question.
What pees when it stands, but can’t stand when it pees?

A. I would say the majority of men on this site will tell you they are talking about themselves 😃

Many drug names are daunting to pronounce and remember. And to think, people actually get paid to make them up. Take Orgovyx for example. The generic name is Relugolix. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue does it? I just call it arugula.

Watching my friends cringe every time I say: “Hey, did I tell you guys that I am riddled with Prostate cancer?” I say it every time I see them either alone or together for lunch and the first couple of times I got a poignant “Oh no you’re not” or “It’ll be OK” or “I’m praying for you, buddy”.
But now I get “***k you, asshole!” Or “Hurry up and die then!” Or “ You told us 10 times already - now shut up!” My reply is always a sheepish “Oh…just thought I’d mention it”
It makes me laugh inside every time but damned if I know why.

OK, you got me on that one! If I'd had a drink in my mouth, I would have sprayed it out.

Every once in a while I announce to my family that I'm going to "play the C-card" (e.g. to get out of washing dishes). They've learned that it's ok to roll their eyes at me.

An old guy goes to the doctor to get his test results.

"I have some bad news for you," said the doc. "You have cancer."

The old guy sighed and shook his head.

"And I have even more bad news," added the doc. "You also have Alzheimer's."

The old guy thought about it for a minute, and then replied "Well, at least I don't have cancer!"

What did the elephant say to the naked man? It's cute but can it pick up peanuts?

I find the non-optimal and unrealistic amusing so there is no end of situations to laugh about. Politics at the moment takes center stage.

Laughter is still the best medicine!

I laughed at a simple meme. It showed a telephone operator with a caption: Incontinence Hotline! Please Hold!
I got the biggest chuckle over this! Humor is how I deal with tough stuff.
