I don't subscribe to premium cable channels like HBO so I have never seen Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm show. Today's Washington Post TV review however insists it is one of the funniest shows on TV and it even is bringing back the Seinfield gang for a four show reunion) But the reason I am posting this is this one excerpt that points out just how great our caregivers are:
[quote]Why would he want to eject such a gorgeous woman from his life and home? Because she has cancer. Gasp!!! Herewith a warning to sensitive viewers, or maybe just sensible ones: Many of the laughs this season come at the expense of cancer. The disease itself is never found to be in the least bit funny, but Larry's clumsy, tactless interactions with cancer patients are in the most bit funny. To say the least. Watch his face crinkle and crumble as a doctor describes the life of a cancer patient's caregiver; it is a role that calls for far more dedication and selflessness than Larry could ever muster, even on his best day and even if there were 10 of him.

And so the joke is really on Larry -- on the man too wrapped up in his idiosyncratic and mollycoddled existence ever to dedicate himself fully to another human being.[/quote]
