That's genuinely one of the most horrifying things I've ever heard.

Old , story 

 

in the 70’s , my old boy worked for the toon council , and him and his mates would go down to the grapes at 5 on a Friday and have a few jars , as he liked to put it 

one Friday evening the phone in the pub  rings , mein host answers , and goes hey BBBsenior , yer wife is on the phone , 

cue ribbing and hilarity from the lads 

yer teas oot , says one , nah worse than that , yer mother in law’s comin to stay , nah scarier than that Yer missus is pregnant again , so the banter goes on , trying to decide what is the scariest 

one of the lads , asks an old boy in the corner of the bar , what is the scariest thing you have ever heard 

The old fella swills the beer round in his glass , and without looking up says “ fix bayonets “ 

pub goes quiet , old fella doesn’t need to buy a pint for a few Fridays

Folk flying in with absolutely terrible patter just to look edgy is boring as f**k. You don’t need to make a joke every time someone dies.

 

Bit of context called for here; we're now up to 134 pages in this thread which catalogues incidents of mass gun crime in a country that steadfastly refuses to do anything to ameliorate the problem it seems everybody in the world who doesn't live there can clearly see it has, instead offering meaningless "thoughts and prayers" for the victims and their families as verbal sticking plasters like they're going to help.

Then it happens again. And again. And no c**t ever does anything about it but dish out more facile "thoughts and prayers"

I doubt anyone's taking the piss out of anyone affected - the real target is the country and the people who live there who as long as they're allowed to own guns seem content for something similar to happen every couple of weeks ad infinitum.

This.

If people stopped making jokes, it would be a clear sign that everybody had been totally desensitised to it.
