It is Terry Fox season
http://www.terryfoxrun.org/english/home/default.asp?s=1
so I am bringing up the subject of Cancer.
How do you feel about cancer? Are you procancer? Are you anticancer?
These police officers are for cancer

They even shave their heads to make themselves look more like cancer patients.
Do you think that it is appropriate for police to show such a bias towards cancer?

You kill a one legged fox the same way you kill any other fox. With a gun.

I feel that my beliefs on this issue are best spoken in verse:

First they came for Cancer,
but I was not a Cancer so I did not speak out.
Then they came for Schizophrenia and Testicular Contortion,
But I was neither, so I did not speak out.
Then they came for Tay-Sachs Disease,
but I was not Tay-Sachs Disease so I did not speak out.
And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak for me.

You probably won't like cancer when you first get it, but it grows on you quickly. *nod*

Sounds like that fox needs a prosthesis: a faux paw

This makes me sad

A great friend of the family and a great guy from here was named Terry Fox as well he just died this year of pancreatic cancer

RIP Terry

Then a twinkle grew in his buckshot eye:
"Lied to you? Tricked you?" he said, "Not I.
For I answered straight and I told you true:
The Clinic was raised for none but you."

"For who has served more faithfully
Than you with your cowards hope?" said he.
"And where are the others who might have stood,
Side by side in the common good?"

"Dead," I whispered, and amiably.
"Murdered," the Doctor corrected me.
"First AIDS, then Cancer too . . .
I did no more than you let me do."

Beneath the beam that blocked the sky,
None stood so alone as I.
And the Doctor strapped me and no voice there,
Cried "STAY!" for me in the empty square.

How do you kill a one legged fox?

You get into an ass-kicking contest with it.

Shoot the fox...

But seriously, I don't understand how the title fits the topic.

Hilarious title...my daughter did the Terry Fox run today, and they watched a movie earlier about him. She was very disappointed that he wasn't actually a Fox.

"Mom! Did you know Terry Fox was a HUMAN!" *quivering outrage*
