Gallows Humor

Ok. I like black humor, in case you haven't noticed. It's gotten me in trouble before. So...

If you didn't think "Pulp Fiction" was funny, or if you thought Sweeney Todd was simply too grisley to be made fun of, I just want you to stop right now and think about, oh, I dunno, this.

Ok, now that the morality police have gone, everyone else should enjoy Dignity, Atonement, and "Bernie", which is a war story easily on par with my grandad's stories of a live shell landing in the back of his jeep or "dead Fritz" the bridge guard. The "DEAD HAJI STORAGE" sequence is easily worth the price of admission.

Yes, I know. I'm an evil, heartless, vile, and brutish American for thinking it's even vaguely amusing. By highlighting such cruel indignity I only prove our nation has no business being the lone superpower.

Hell, I'll even feel guilty for you. No, really!

As long as you didn't mind me giggling while I do so.

Loved it, giggled my butt off, and felt no guilt whatsoever. Thanks!

Humor is the one thing we have always agreed on.
