That is too true from my point of view. I am shocked that the human race has not destroyed so much more of itself than it has...

Do people remember this Friends scene?

I too like morbid humor.

Don't try this if you find yourself on the Moon, however. According to an old book I read, a fall on the Moon will do the equivalent damage of one-third of a fall of the same height on the Earth. So a fall three times as high on the Moon will do the same damage as an Earth fall one-third as high.

My grandfather had a prosthetic leg; on his deathbed I asked him if he would leave it to me so I could make a lamp out of it.

He laughed so it worked, but the rest of my family was not as amused.

What was the name of his other leg?

Many years ago I worked in hospitals, during the height of AIDS, and we used to joke, if we had called in sick, and someone asked when we were back, "Oh, I had AIDS again." I tried telling that outside a hospital setting and people were horrified. It ain't like you can get cured, so getting it again was a hilarious concept.

Now I feed the homeless, and we make lots of Mr. Rogers "Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" jokes when we get multiple ODs, bodies on the sidewalk, stabbings in the park...when you spend all your time in the middle of it, it does become kind of mundane.

My boss at work often threatens us with taking off his leg and beating us with it, or shoving it somewhere unmentionable...

We had a family friend who died of AIDS back in the early ’90s. If you said “How are you?” like as a greeting or something, he’d answer “Dying slowly and painfully, how about you?” in a chipper voice.
