PRIVATE EARTHQUAKE




This artist from Vancouver, a photographer, goes for his second visit to the oncologist, after having a CT Scan taken of his chest following bouts of pain and shortness of breath.
The doctor holds the x-ray up to the lightbox, pointing with his little finger at the black cloudy spots over the left lung.
The artist, fearing the worst, expresses relief in the form of slumping shoulders. The doctor is mystified.
"Son, you realize this black mark represents cancer do you not?"
"Well, I see where you're coming from, but now that I've seen it up here on the lightbox, I realize just how easy it will be to erase it with Photoshop."
