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?

Yes, they can all be in the entertainment business. I think it’s great we can find that little nugget of humor in something so many people view as devastating.

Oh, just post some. You've probably already offended someone with your post. Do we have a section here on thin skin? 😄😄😄

When I had the Gold marker beads inserted into the prostate ( used for marking radiation treatments ) I told my friends that my net worth had increased a bit. I suggested a nickname in jest to be called " GOLD-DINGER "

I asked ChatGPT for some prostate jokes. Most were terrible. A few were pretty good.

Prostate exams are like first dates.
There’s awkward small talk, uncomfortable touching, and a lot of regret afterward.

Having prostate cancer is like being in a bad relationship.
You ignore the warning signs until it’s too late, and then it screws you over for years.

My prostate tried to kill me.
But joke’s on it—I’ve been dead inside for years.

I’ve learned a lot about myself since getting prostate cancer.
Mostly that I have an incredibly high tolerance for other people’s bad advice.

When they told me my prostate was enlarged, I said, “Thanks, I’ve been working on it.”
And by working on it, I mean doing absolutely nothing until it became a problem.
