Ironical
This morning on my rainy drive to work I noticed a white Volvo station wagon with a pink “Breast Cancer Awareness” ribbon on the back. This is not an unusual sight — especially in these parts — but what struck me as peculiar is that the driver’s window was cracked so that the smoke from their cigarette could waft out into the rain. The irony of this person’s actions contrasted with their efforts to raise cancer awareness had me marveling long into the early afternoon.
Please help fight cancer. Please stop smoking!
PS - Happy Valentine’s Day!

Duh, it’s not like her *boob* was smoking.

It would be quite amusing if he/she ended up getting lung cancer… “Oh, shit - I was supporting the wrong research! Dammit!”
Ah, people… they’re so… special.

Now, now, Young Amanda. We should not be amused at anyone contracting cancer, even if they may have contributed to it. But I will admit that we humans have developed some very interesting self-destructive behaviors. (jbroome — LOL!)

But, isn’t that just natural selection trying its damnedest to work? Not every case of cancer elicits a chuckle, but sometimes… you just have to.
