Lol. It's good isn't it. I love the section about Braveheart (I think) being gay. Especially the "......but they weren't" bit.

I love a good Oxford Comma story -
https://www.theguardian.com/books/2...-helps-drivers-win-dispute-about-overtime-pay
The state’s law says the following activities do not count for overtime pay:
The canning, processing, preserving, freezing, drying, marketing, storing, packing for shipment or distribution of:
(1) Agricultural produce;
(2) Meat and fish products; and
(3) Perishable foods.
The drivers argued, due to a lack of a comma between “packing for shipment” and “or distribution”, the law refers to the single activity of “packing”, not to “packing” and “distribution” as two separate activities. As the drivers distribute – but do not pack – the goods, this would make them eligible for overtime pay.
Previously, a district court had ruled in the dairy company’s favour, who argued that the legislation “unambiguously” identified the two as separate activities exempt from overtime pay. But the appeals judge sided with the drivers.
Agreed. What on earth made them think the gig was going to be all about them?

Yeah. He fell out of a watch tower
That is sick, but why did I still laugh at it? A world where Stephen Mulherne or similar was cutting edge scares me.

My great grandfather died peacefully in his sleep.
His passengers were screaming though.

There were loads of dead baby "jokes" when I was at school on top of this one.
Remember the Alka-Seltza adverts.
What goes plink, plink fizz?
2 babies in an acid bath.
What's small and red, and sits in the corner crying?
Baby playing with a razor blade.
What small and pink, and turns red with a flick of a switch?
Baby in a blender.
What's small and blue, and sits in the corner?
Baby playing with a plastic bag.
What's small and green, and sits in the corner?
Same baby, 3 month later.
Or jokes about disabled people.
There as a crash on the M40 involving a coach full of disable people.
I took the emergency services 6 hours to cut the wreckage free from the passengers.
Or jokes about the shuttle disaster.
What were the last words heard on the Challenger shuttle?
"Look, if she want's to drive, let her. What harm can it do?"
I remember as a kid we would laugh at all manner of sick things, but people seem to get all PC as they get older. I've always found the ability of (most) Brits to laugh at things an admirable trait, be that sick, racist, sexist, etc. Laughing at this type of stuff does not make someone sick, racist or sexist.
I'm not saying the jokes I remember from my childhood are that funny, but this type of stuff is not new and people have through the ages made jokes about disasters, suffering and the like.
No doubt this will result in a lot of shit comments, but no offence meant to anyone.
You're right. I distinctly remember being at a function a few days after the Herald of Free Enterprise thing and hearing loads of 'jokes' about it. All part of the great British stoicism of dealing with stuff

Such as :
The Hreald of Free Enterprise - a "Roll-on/Roll-over" Car Ferry.
What was the last song playing when the Herald of Free Enterprise went down?
Dancing on the ceiling.
Yep, them's the ones....
I remember Jimmy Carr saying just about the only thing comedians won't joke about these days is Hillsborough. Apart from that he said he couldn't think of a single thing he would consider off limits.

It's like the jokes about Gary Glitter.
Gary Glitter comes home from work and sees his wife with her bags packed, ready to leave.
"Where are you going?" he asks.
"I'm leaving you - you're disgusting. I've just heard that you're a paedophile"
"Oh" he says, "that's a big word for a 10 year old".

While it is a bit dated, the best joke on the Challenger disaster was "No, I said a Bud Light"

I saw a Jimmy Carr show in Tun Wells, he opened with
"What do you get if you put a baby in a blender?"
"An erection"
I knew it was going to be a good night.

Dirty duplicate post.
I'll use it to ask if anyone recalls Billy Connolly getting grief for joking about Ken Bigley?

Did you not think to ask if there were any songs that shouldn't be played to avoid a situation such as the one you watched unfold? Unbelievable.If you go to shows of this ilk, comedians nowadays push the boundaries and you ought to expect it.
Unfortunate if your personal situation makes you more sensitive to some subjects but that's life.
On a lesser note, was DJing at a mate's party once at his house, put on some song and the host's best mate ran out screaming and crying. Apparently reminded her of her deceased Dad.
How was I to know?
