Not one person here has agreed that this was funny. The reason why Paul's posting wasn't funny was because he posted a serious news story that merely contained a humorous twist. The fact of the wrestler's death is not funny, as has been pointed out already. But the manner of his death was definitely comic. Once written up properly by the folks who bring you the Darwin awards it will be at least as funny as similar stories about do-it-yourself bungee-jumpers. And shame on everyone who complained and didn't include a joke. At least Paul tried to amuse us. If you do not contribute a joke, your complaint should not be taken seriously. So, in order to divert everyone's attention to less weighty matters, I invite those who are old enough to remember "Mommy Mommy" jokes to contribute their favorites. Mine is: Mommy, Mommy, I'm 14 now, can I wear a bra? No, George!

OT >>. Not one person here has agreed that this was funny. << I thought it was as did all my co-workers. They also thought it was hilarious that people that can tell jokes about the Jesus, priests, disadvantaged, handicapped, non white anglo saxon protestant, sexual harassment etc could be offended by this. Also if a participant in fake wrestling is the best that Alberta can cling to as a representitive of thier worth then I would move and deny my roots. There aren't any doctors, scientists, school teachers there? Let the flaming begin because I really didn't want to post this but all this self rightiousness is too much. 30+ posts on how this was not funny is too much. Let it die and admit each person has their own sense of humor. (And yes, I thought the joke about the Itialian pizza and the A-6 was funny too and my shop couldn't stop laughing for 20 minutes after I told it there.) Read the stinking news. He hit the release mechanism himself. He was a Darwin nominee as far as most are concerned. As to the fact that he left a couple kids behind, how do you know the kid that stuck the air hose up his behind only to blow himself up wasn't going to father the scientist to cure cancer. Get real and come down off the alters people. Sorry, I am no longer in the mood to tell a joke. EDIT - saw this was already addressed. so may as well add a sicker joke since I saw VWs mentioned. Q.) How do you fit 1000 jews in a VW. A.) Put them inthe ash tray. Now I'll really get flamed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lee
