"Some people just deal with tragedy with humor."

It's normal. It's called "gallows humor" and some of us are OK with it.

That is true and some either don't get that or they are simply trying to appear "holier-than-thou".

What happened to this pastor-in-a-tub is indeed a tragedy and I think it was more a case of absent-mindedness than stupidity. Years ago, I rented a hotel room with a hot tub and before I got into it, I put my portable radio on the edge of it so I could listen to it while I sat in there. After about a half hour of soaking, I came to the sudden realization that if this radio (which was plugged into a wall outlet) was to fall into the tub, I'd probably be a dead man! So I very carefully (but quickly) got out of the tub and moved the radio a safe distance away.

SO this kind of thing could happen to any one of us.

I do want to go on record that if I ever was to die a tragic death, I give full permission for others here to make puns about me, nominate me for the Darwin award and come up with other witticisms that might apply to the circumstances my sudden demise. I would expect nothing less!

All of us are going to go sooner or later. I'd rather go out with a whimper than with a bang, but I don't think I have much choice in the matter.
