Conferences

Let's talk about Genital and Urological (GU) cancers.

1. I don't treat them. I'm a neurologist. Not my end of the body. So how I got on a mailing list for them is beyond me.

2. If you were, say, a marketing person trying to get people to think of genital & urological cancers, what kind of image would you choose? Some sort of artistically non-smutty cartoon of a person's nether regions? A generic pic of a doctor looking at an MRI film? If the conference were in San Diego perhaps an image of a sunset on a beach?

Or maybe you'd just do this:

 


 

I don't know about you guys, but pretty much nothing makes me think of genital & urological cancer more than a big bowl of guacamole. At lease, that's the image that will be stuck in my mind for a while, and Mrs. Grumpy will wonder why I'm suddenly avoiding our favorite Mexican restaurant, La Casa DeMentia.

Personally, I think they should try to coordinate the meeting so it occurs at the same place and time as the Sarcoma Academy Lectures in Surgical Advances, along with a gathering of the California HIghway Patrol.

My stupid brothers let Zeppo join their act. They even had Gummo for a while. But that's just because they weren't threatening the way I was. They knew that if I were there I'd blow them all away with my talent, and that scared them. Anyway, is it my fault that I was our mother's favorite?

Still not as bad as that time the New York Times published a recipe for guacamole with peas.

Given that it's in San Diego, maybe they should have had an image of a fish taco?

TBF that's kind of a cool "icon" for GUACO. Also side note, I now refer to memory care as Casa De Mentia because of you and every time I use it people laugh; they love it!
