One of the guys in the fishing club has cancer, and is getting chemo, a fellow only about my age.

So the guys decided that the way to make him feel better would be to roast him. Which they did last night at the meeting. He had to get up in the front of the room, in front of 75 guys and be made fun of.

Since the chemo has made him lose all his hair, but especially he lost it (apparently) in an area that might not be polite to discuss on a family forum.

So, in front of everyone he was presented with a small blond wig, just the right size for that area, along with a larger one for his head, with cornrows and a scratching tool for a spot not to be named here. Lots of off color jokes for awhile. The whole room was in hysterics, and the 30 or so guests couldn't believe what they were seeing. Neither could the guest speaker, who had to go on next, a fairly famous skiff guide.

Anyway, I think the guy with cancer was kind of happy, everyone made alot of fuss over him, it was quite a nice thing.

Barry that's very touching. I'm glad you guys could get together and have a really fun time with your friend. We'll be praying for this one too. It is good to celebrate life while we have it isn't it?

That's funny... while of course it is a serious matter to deal with cancer... it's good in some way that some lightheartedness can be made of it.

ROTFL!! Your friend has GREAT friends, Sam!

You wanna whisper it to the dwarves and let us tell it?

Mornin' Sam. Great story.

I had radiation treatments and not chemo, but I do understand the associated indignities. You get to the point that you just have to laugh about it.
