Dark Humour

[carrust]

A friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with a serious heart problem. A mutual friend's hobby is wood turning. We all met in the pub last week and the mutual friend presented him with an urn..... He found it hilarious

Brill! I'd find it hilarious, too. The only way is laughing - we are currently laughing at cancer etc.. (non-fatal, but very unpleasant type).

[carrust]

Good luck with that jourdain.

[jourdain2]

Ta, carrust - Happy Christmas!

[carrust]

And the same to you.

Oh I think your wood-turner knew your friend's philosophy and sense of humour.
I knew a similar cancer-sufferer whom we visited after a long flight abroad -we were informed that his years of fight were really due to end.
It was near-Christmas and his wife had dug out what I now know is called a "door-garland".
I said "oh, I don't like those 'wreaths'".
Our late friend smiled amusingly and said: "We don't talk about wreaths in this house". I said "sorry" but led by our late brave friend, we all laughed.
I hope that I can show the same bravery when my time comes.

Don't we all SIQ!

[solvitquick]

Yup jourdain2,
So long as they keep the religious dog-collars away, I think I will cope but I don't lose sleep over the big question.
Hope this helps carrust's current anxieties.
Kind Regards,
SIQ.

Mr O was distraught when all 90,000 of his honey bees died at once.
I patted him on the shoulder and said
"Well, at least you'll be kept busy making all the little coffins"

When I was a teenager, my father elected me to go to a funeral on behalf of the family. I said "but nobody liked him, why me?"
Father: "True. He needed effing with the blunt-end of a ragman's trumpet but we have to show our respects"

[ummmm]

That's our kind of humour. If you don't laugh you'd cry.
