geez o meany pete, norm... most humor is a twist on things that touch us, often in an effort to put the scary or sad events in the world in some perspective. I don't happen to know the royal family of nepal personally and frankly the death of my 4 year old daughter's catfish was a much bigger deal here in texas, so please refrain from any jokes about catfish, or fish at all for that matter.
Did you think the "sure pa" joke was funny? If not, would it have been funny if there were no "death" associated with it?
If your life depended on it, could you come up with a joke that was actually funny which was related to the news event about death in the nepal royal family?

NASA was interviewing professionals to be sent to Mars. Only one could go -- and couldn’t return to Earth.
The first applicant, an engineer, was asked how much he wanted to be paid for going. “A million dollars,” he answered, “because I want to donate it to M.I.T.”
The next applicant, a doctor, was asked the same question. He asked for $2 million. “I want to give a million to my family,” he explained, “and leave the other million for the advancement of medical research.”
The last applicant was a lawyer. When asked how much money he wanted, he whispered in the interviewer’s ear, “Three million dollars.”
“Why so much more than the others?” asked the interviewer.
The lawyer replied, “If you give me $3 million, I’ll give you $1 million, I’ll keep $1 million, and we’ll send the engineer to Mars.” |
