What other noises cause cancer?

My dog just barked and woke me from my nap.... which was aggravating enough but now I'm worried that she gave me cancer, too. I might have to send her to the pound.

And when my wife comes home I'll have to tell her I didn't turn on the washing machine. Didn't bother to even load it, because what's the point?

Maybe the human body has some built-in defense mechanisms against sound-induced cancer?

At any rate, cancer sucks. Must tear down all those wind turbines NOW! Also, if we block too much wind the gusts can't fight global warming. Wouldn't want to be a hypocrite.

well, maybe not cancer, but the god-damned about of noise pollution emanating from those machines in my part of Atlanta kills me. My neighborhood has gentrified to an affluent and mostly white hood and no one - seemingly but me a few other hold outs - can do their own yard work any more and no one knows how to use a fucking rake.

Besides the noise pollution, there are exceptions from gas emissions requirements, for virtually all lawn care equipment.

blah...

donnie t's bleeting and redundant voice is likely to cause headaches, if not cancer.
