There's No Other Kind

(Overheard phone call)

Oh my God. It's cancer?

Really?

What kind?

Oh no.

Well, at least it's good cancer.

I can just see it now.

Doctor: Well, I've got some good news.
Customer: Oh?
Doctor: You've got cancer.
Customer: CANCER! But that's bad!
Doctor: No no! This is the GOOD cancer. Once it grows up to be an adult cancer, it'll do your dishes, vacuum the carpet and mow the lawn once a week. Plus, it leaves a refreshing pine fresh smell AND sings the occasional show tune.

When I overheard that last line, I blinked several times in rapid succession. Good cancer indeed.
