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?
