Some of the funniest humor borderlines on tasteless......
There is a difference in laughing "at" a multiple amputee and "with" them for example.
My Father lost all his fingers and the front of each foot about midway back when he was 66 due to some tard who misread his medical chart while he ws in the hospital for a heart attack and gave him Heparin which he was allergic to.
A few months after he was in physical therapy his humor turned on (he was a very impatient man) and he would occasionally make jokes about his daily inconveniences such as going to the bathroom by himself. He would sometimes just make random commentary as if narrating from the third person.
When we went to visit the doctor that had saved his life the doctor in parting said "You can buy me drink sometime....On second thought Ill buy YOU a drink!"
My dad replied with "make mine a double Heparin with (doctors name) chaser!"
He would also say things like
"wanna see a man with no hands go to the bathroom?"
"I need a camera with a tube I can blow into to operate the shutter"
Is that not funny?? is it in poor taste???
Would you laugh at a friend who fell down while drunk in a public place?
.........I would
Without humor life's a dreary place especially when you are facing serious hardship. It's one of the only things that makes it bearable sometimes. To take a walk to the last door with a friend going through cancer without humor seems beyond the misery of it all in the first place. Making light of some of life's worst is necessary to keep optimism in the field of view.
Just sharing a perspective
