Those jokes aren’t funny. The poor woman died tragically and there’s nothing funny about that. She must have been terrified.

Grow up. Dealing with tragedy by offering humor is one way to deal with the horror of it all. That's just human nature. Example: How many jokes about the Challenger disaster have you heard? How about the even more horrible starvation in Ethiopia? Q: Why don't Ethiopians go to the movies? A: The seats keep folding them in half. Q: How many Ethiopians can you fit in a phone booth? A: All of 'em. Okay so that's ones real OLD, because there aren't very many phone BOOTHS anymore.... But the point is that facing a horrible event with dark humor is simply part of the process. I know, I teach Psychology.
