I dont find it this too humorous sorry. Considering the number of women in the world that have/and had cancer, or those who lost a friend or family member.

It doesn't say that it is a Good mammogram, just a Free one.

You're not forgiven.

My mom died of breast cancer when I was in college. I'm not exactly the poster boy of morality or whatever, but that didn't even occur to me when I saw the pic. All I was thinking was how I could replicate this for next Halloween. Or hell, the upcoming company Christmas party.
Thanks for reminding me BlueJ1! ThaNks ALOT! :mad:

My mother had breast cancer in summer of 1996
At least after the sugery, she's doing a-okay, but still she's not feeling too well right now.

Bluej1,
Chill out a bit buddy.
My Grandmother died of breast cancer. My mother and my wife are cancer survivors.
With my experiances I at first started to be a bit offended then I realized that cancer isn't necessarily a death sentence. More and more women, and men, are surviving it. One of the best ways to get through it is to maintain a sense of humor. In this case I figured there was no intent to demean, just a bit of humor. Laughter is the best way to get past a bad situation like cancer. Just because you have been touched by it doesn't mean you have to let it rule your life. Laugh at it as was the intention of the guy in the photo.

LOL good one
I always tell women I am uniquely qualified to give mammograms.
I have special sensors in my tongue

My mom has cancer but still.. In many cases I think those that has felt these kinds of things up close are more relaxed about it. Even my mom makes jokes about her condition but some of her friends gets really serious and sad and sees no humor in anything.

I've had cancer (hodgkins), My Grandmother, and one of my sister in laws both had breast cancer.
I think it humorous, My sister in law finds my joke humorous, And my grandmother who eventually died of old age at 88 would have found both jokes humorous
In addition I have an uncle who died of cancer, and and my brother in laws mother died of cancer.
knowing them as I did I feel confident speaking for them in saying they too would have found these humorous.
What your doing is trying to be PC.
The problem with political correctness is a great deal of the time we are supposed to try to not offend people who probably wouldnt be offended to begin with.
What we end up doing is giving a bunch of thin skinned crybabies an excuse to cry about something.
In this case and speaking from my own experiance, I found that keeping a sence of humour about it is part of what gets you through

Alright nevermind.

Exactly.
For your mom Im betting its one of the things she does to help keep her form getting too down.
One of the things I know I did is fall into a mode where I wouldnt let my self get either too high or too low with the emphasis on not letting myself get too low.
So I made humour of it and enjoyed doing it usually at others expence.
I'd be willing to be your mom constantly has people asking her how shes "feeling" or how she's "doing"
While its nice to hear, and we know its well intended and the concern is very much appreciated after about the 2,000th time your asked in a 24 hour period it starts getting old.
I went through 6 months of chemo. As most of us know and anyone who has been through it knows chemo often causes you to loose your hair... And I do mean ALL of your hair. the hair on your head comes out in clumps Usually when people notice this one of the things they do is shave their heads.
Well I didnt. I used it as a prop for my jokes about it.
when asked how I was feeling or doing I would say
"Im doing good, spending alot of time at home working in the yard and with the dogs. in fact the dogs taught ME a new trick. Wanna see what it is?"
The inevitable answer was always "Yes"
with that I'd reach up, grab a small section of hair and pull a chunk out show it to them and say " They taught me how to shed"
The reaction,and looks on their faces was priceless.
Usually followed by "Same old Gomez (my RL nickname)
Your still a twisted SOB" and we both would laugh.
BTW I wish your mom the best of luck with that, as with anyone else going through it.
I view Cancer as the devil himself. Laugh at him, spit in his eye and survive him

"They taught me how to shed" :D
Sounds like you and my mom would have a blast together. Every time i go with her on her checkups at the hospital, I find that part of the building to be the most cheerful and with the warmest nurses and patients.
The most grumpy and annoying patients are usually those with broken legs and other minor injuries..... they _really_ whine alot.
