Palestinian joke - and it is a joke

[Gord]

Two palestinians are sitting in a bar having a chat

One gets out his wallet to show him some pics of his family

shows him one - my eldest he is martyr

then shows him another one - my middle boy a martyr too


ah says the other one - they blow up so fast dont they !!

...That's not funny *snickers slightly*

It's kinda sad.

It's kinda sad.

sure - the reality of suicide bombers if you get down to it is kinda sad and horrific

But the it leads to the point can you have humour in any situation - or are certain things off limits . I am sure that many people will find the joke in bad taste and some wont

 

[Sillyman]

It's not because it's in bad taste. It just seems kind of tragic in a way. I can't really explain it.

Yes maybe because it is so now so current

Remember the Monty Python film Life of Brian - the stoning scene, or the crucifixion jokes - horrific acts in reality but still funny when joked about.

It has been said that every great joke must contain an element of truth. That's why no matter how morbid, one sees the humor. It's not a lol, but it did bring a wry smile...
