Morbid humor

[JDgreen]

When I retired back in late 2002, I began keeping a list on my Blackberry memo pad as a reminder when someone I formerly knew during my career passed away. This morning I entered the 30th name, which really bothered me, it shouldn't, because I knew about 2,500 people when I was working.

Well, I was telling my good friend about an hour ago that it really bothered me when I saw someone's name, one that I recognized, in the obituaries column in the newpaper, know what he told me?

QUOTE: "As long as I don't see my name there, it doesn't bother me at all....."

What makes it so funny is that he probably never will......:laughing: :laughing: :thumbsup:

I have a dark sense of humor. I always have, so that strikes me as funny as well. I've had people tell me I was being insensitive more than once because of my humor, but I figure if you can find the humor during the bad times, you'll be a happier person.

When I was young and went to weddings old ladies used to bump me and say "your next" now when I go to a funeral and see them I say the same thing to them!!

Good thing about old age is it won't last long

And to think some of the folks here think I am nasty....:laughing:

Want to define "old age" for us?

Oh, now that's just mean. Funny, but mean. I could never do it, but I'd like to witness that just once.

I'd say 50+ would suffice :laughing:

Twenty years older than I am at any given time is old age. Ten years older than I am at any given time is "getting up there". I think that's how a lot of us look at it.

FIFTY PLUS IS OLD....boy just wait until you turn 50, you will be telling everybody you just started middle age....FIFTY IS NOT OLD, it's PRE-ELDERLY.

I turned 60 a month ago, can still get up at 5 am and do a full day's work of hard, manual labor, and get up the next day at 5 am and repeat that work. Heck, I don't feel any older than 40 most of the time.
