Very Funny Joke....

[patrick]

Yes Curtis we are brothers!!!!!!!!!!!


Dud, to me the joke was in bad taste at this time in American history. A soldiers death fighting for freedom isn't funny!!!

Bro Curtis ain't a dud.

 

[Bro. Curtis]

Why thank you,Daisy.

Nor are you.

Daisy, I'm a little disappointed you didn't comment on the "counting his fingers" part of my ammended joke. I threw it in just for you, and cracked myself up doing it.....

 

[Daisy]

It's a good addition...makes the visual funnier.

If any of you ever get a chance to come over my way...be sure to visit the Stars & Stripes Museum. I am proud to live and serve in the town that started it all.

Not exactly. The only way to effectively deal with the "enormity of death" is to accept the fact that we are all going to die.

Some people engage in gallows humor. I have a friend who is a TSA screener at Reagan Airport and her most common response to the question of how her day at work was, is "Well, didnt get blown up today" and laughs.

I thought both jokes were funny and I am in the military with the constant threat of coming home "in a flag draped coffin".

I think that you fear death more than most Patrick and that is where this whiplash reaction comes from to this joke. Lighten up, the path to Heaven is more enjoyable that way.

The only way?

Even acceptance that we all are going to die (except me, of course) doesn't necessarily help everyone to deal with the death of those near and dear. Humor does help ease the dealing - maybe not for you, but it most certainly does for me.

I don't fear my own death so much as that of my husband.

I thought this was the post about jokes...not about fear of death. Hmm.

Yeah. The only way. There is no getting out of this life alive. You can joke about it till your last breath, however, it IS still your last breath.

Rodney Dangerfield on his way into the hospital right before he died.....

Amen Bro Curtis. LOL Amen.

RIP Rod.
