Hmmmmm... maybe you're right. In retrospect I prehaps should of waited a bit longer, say a week? or maybe a month? or perhaps a hundred years even? Please you could tell me what a good length of time would be before this event could be approached with humour? Is there a calculation I could use?
Or better still, as some of your buddies have pointed out, maybe this event shouldnt be dealt with at all. I mean, a number of people where injured.
You're right, any tragic event like this that involves death or injury is completely off limits to humour. Look at WW1, millions died there and nobody even dared approach that with .... oh hang on, retract that Black Adder Goes Forth had a pop ( I dont know how Richard Curtis can look at himself in the mirror ).
Ok then maybe World War 2, oh no there was Dads Army, geez that was sick, how can anyone find humour in a human catostrphy that cost millions upon millions of lives.
Its a human gift that we are the only living thing on this planet that can express humour and it is for this trate we are able to get over tragedy, learn from it and move on. ( ok some of us have had a humour bi-pass )
And would I think it was funny if a member of my family was hit by a truck? Of course not.
But if the ambulance drivers were The Chucckle Brothers, then probably.
