\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s Wednesday and I’m writing this now and pre-dating it for Thursday as my very first FOAD Thursday post, because I know if I don’t by tomorrow I’ll forget I was ever pissed off about it.<\/p>\n

I decided to join in the Foad fun when I came across a post on someone elses blog that reminded me of something I hate so fucking much it makes me want to throw people down and kick them ’till they bleed.<\/p>\n

….after hours of beer, convo, and our own personal attempt at giving ourselves lung cancer…<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\" Smoker jokes. Smoker jokes about cancer… Does smoking really cause cancer? Who the hell knows… I know it certainly doesn’t help if you DO get it… but I’m starting to think it DOES<\/strong> cause stupidity!<\/p>\n

Maybe I’m oversensitive about this subject. I lost one of the most important people in my life to lung cancer, my grandmother… and she never smoked a day in her life. The same goes for my friend Gail<\/a> and her husband David.<\/p>\n

.. but fuck, what makes people find this funny? Joking about smoking and how they are trying to give themselves cancer? Am I missing something? Is this one of those things where only people who belong to the ‘Smokers Club’ can crack cancer jokes and the rest of us just totally miss the boat? Sort of like how black people can say ‘nigga’ but white people can’t? Please, someone enlighten me.<\/p>\n

I’m not stupid, I know they aren’t actually<\/em> trying to give themselves cancer, but it’s just in such bad taste and is not even remotely funny. Not to me anyway and I’m sure it isn’t to other people, whether they’ve lost someone to cancer or not.<\/p>\n

It’s like dead baby jokes, who finds this shit funny?<\/p>\n

I like to believe I have a pretty good sense of humor, but this all totally escapes me.<\/p>\n

So smokers, if you are going to crack cancer jokes about your filthy habit, please… do us all a favor and FOAD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
