<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

Happened about 5 minutes ago and don't really fancy having this on my main account.  

I work at a fairly small consultancy and I'm sat at a desk next to one of the directors when he chuckles at computer shaking his head. I ask him what's up, and he replies, "It's ridiculous that on LinkedIn, you can enter a project end date as far in the future as 2065 - I'll be nearly 90 by then!". I swiftly responded with "yeah that is pretty crazy...unless you were like, working for [Cancer Research] or something". The exchange ended there.

It was a pretty poor response in any case, but the fact that his wife died of cancer last year made it 100x worse. He's gone to get lunch.
<bot>: Made a light-hearted reference to cancer to one of the directors at work; his wife died of cancer last year.
