I
Never Metastasis I Didn't Like.
Tom?
Tom Tumor, is that you?
Well, if it ain't my old pal Neo Plasm. How you
been, buddy?
I'm doing pretty good, Tom. Thanks for asking. Remember
that little enterprise I started in the pancreas last
year? Believe it or not, it's metastisizing like mad
and
we're thinking
about expanding
into the liver before the end of the year.
Really? That's awesome!
Sure is. How about you?
Me? Nothing. I'm still down at the old colorectal grind.
That shithole?
Dude, it's a paycheck.
Whoa! Don't get mad.
I'm not. I'm just on edge because there's rumors
that the boys in the head office are investing heavily
in fiber. This could wipe us out.
You still in the transverse?
Nope. Got kicked up to the ascending colon. Got a corner
office with a key to the executive polyp and everything.
Cool. You still
seeing that girl? What's her name...?
Leia Myoma?
Yeah! Leia! Did
you two ever get hitched?
(Sigh) No. I always dreamed of a big family of invasive
oncogenes but it turned out she was benign. Last I
heard she'd joined
an
order of fibroid nuns.
Gee, that's too bad. She was quite the petri dish.
Did you hear the news out of Femurzuela?
That place down south? Yeah, I think I heard something
about it. The guy who runs the place, Lou Qemia, is
sick or something. What
have you heard?
He got the cancer-cancer.
No!
Yeah.
From what?
Radiation.
No kidding. Think the government is in on it?
Wouldn't surprise me. The guy was throwing a real monkey
wrench in the red blood cell pipeline. He's certifiably
pathological.
Ain't that the truth.
Well, Tom, it's been fun but I have to be moving along.
My business isn't ulcerating itself. Say hello to
the boys down in the colon for me.
Will do. And don't take any wooden blastomas.

As it turns out, resarchers actually
ARE giving cancer a form of cancer.

And, finally:
Doctor: Well, Mr. Johnson, I have some good news and some bad news.
Patient: What's the bad news?
Doctor: You have an incurable cancer, and you probably have less than a month
to live.
Patient (stunned): Well... what's the good news?
Doctor: Did you see that hot nurse out in the reception area?
Patient: Um... yeah?
Doctor: I'm fucking her.
