Prostate cancer 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.

Only loosely PCa related (by means of its impact on sexual performance), but a franco-Ontarian university friend found it hilarious when anglos would say "croisser la rue" instead of "traverser la rue" for "cross the street.

Apparently, "se croisser" (to cross oneself) was slang for masturbation, at least in Canadian French in the 1980s, so to his ears they were planning to pleasure the street. 🙂

Another great mispronunciation is when we anglos mean to say "merci beaucoup" (thank you very much), but it comes out as "merci, beau cul!" (thanks, nice butt!)

Language is always funny.

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.

Yes, when politics becomes a joke only the comedians get it!

Let's see if I can think of some non-partisan political jokes (partisan politics don't belong here in the forum, of course).

"Politics is all about compromise for the sake of success. You compromise, and I succeed."

"What do you call a bad lawyer? A politician. What do you call a bad politician? An economist."

(This one's from online) "How are politicians like diapers? They both need to be changed regularly, and for exactly the same reason."

Good luck this November, American friends!

Laughter is still the best medicine!

Cute joke (or not?😵‍💫) for many…
Previously posted joke by @sicernon3:
(((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 😃))).

However, fyi, I have found the burn/pain anticipation and sensation a day or two after a procedure can be much reduced when one sits rather than stands to pee, and perhaps gently squeezes near the head of the penis momentarily to slow the initial urinary stream. Just sayin’ it helped me last week after my ultrasound volume procedure which included a urinary catheter.
Not joking here! 🌞🌵🩷

I’m glad you discovered something that works for you and might help others. Thanks for the comment…

I'm an amateur stand-up comic. Do it for fun at open mics but not well enough to quit my day job. I'm actually writing an entire routine about prostate cancer. It still has a ways to go but has been therapeutic.

I know @scottbeammeup might want to stay anonymous in this forum, like many of us, but if he ever wants to share a video link to one of his sets I think he'll have a very friendly test audience here. ♥️

You know what the problem with you Americans is? There's no "you" in your humour.

Duh... it took me about 30 seconds to get that one, North.
