Beyond A Joke

 Laughing at somebody who:

Slips on a banana skin
Walks into a lamppost
Falls down the stairs
Swoons in the doctors surgery
Sits on a chair that breaks
Soaked by a shower
Kicked by a horse
Chased by a small dog

Funny, right?

Laughing at somebody who:

Slips on a banana skin
Into the path of an oncoming vehicle

Walks into a lamppost
Light falls down fracturing his skull

Falls down the stairs
Breaking four ribs and both legs

Swoons in the doctors surgery
After being told has six months to live

Sits on a chair that breaks
The metal legs impale both buttocks

Soaked by a shower
Then struck by lightening

Kicked by a horse
Breaking arm, dislocating shoulder

Chased by a small dog
Pushed to the ground and bitten

Still funny, right?

Laughing at somebody who:

Slips on a banana skin
Into the path of an oncoming vehicle
Gets run over and dragged for a mile

Walks into a lamppost
Light falls down fracturing his skull
Results in permanent total blindness

Falls down the stairs
Breaking four ribs and both legs
Two of the ribs puncture a lung

Swoons in the doctors surgery
After being told has twelve months to live
Turns out to be wrong its only 2 months

Sits on a chair that breaks
The metal legs impale both buttocks
Surgery results in paralysis

Soaked by a shower
Then struck by lightening
This leads to permanent brain damage

Kicked by a horse
Breaking arm, dislocating shoulder
The horse then stomps him to near death

Chased by a small dog
Pushed to the ground and bitten
The dog savages his face unrecognisable

Still funny, right?

Slips on a banana skin
Into the path of an oncoming vehicle
Gets run over and dragged for a mile
Turns out he is also a Jew

Walks into a lamppost
Light falls down fracturing his skull
Results in permanent total blindness
She just so happens to be a Jew

Falls down the stairs
Breaking four ribs and both legs
Two of the ribs puncture a lung
He is also a Jew

Swoons in the doctors surgery
After being told has twelve months to live
Turns out to be wrong its only 2 months
She is also a Jew

Sits on a chair that breaks
The metal legs impale both buttocks
Surgery results in paralysis
He is a follower of Judaism

Soaked by a shower
Then struck by lightening
This leads to permanent brain damage
She is a follower of Judaism

Kicked by a horse
Breaking arm, dislocating shoulder
The horse then stomps him to near death
He is a Rabbi

Chased by a dog
Pushed to the ground and bitten
The dog savages his face unrecognisable
She is a Rabbi

Still funny, right?

All of them a rounded up
By the secret police
Put into internment camps
Then killed using
Poisonous gas ovens

Still funny or beyond a joke?
