over in the music, in the mike jackson's dead thread, StrangeFamous said:

"But also it is nothing to celebrate and I take no joy nor wish to make silly jokes about the death of a human being."

and i got to thinking...why not?

the death of a human isn't anything to celebrate, unless you believe in an afterlife and you think they are going to heaven, then you should be happy for them. but i was thinking more of the second part.

why not makes jokes about the dead? silly ones are best, because they are silly, not serious. i don't think it's disrespectful at all. i see it as a way to keep their memory alive, to honor them (even if it's a "negetive" joke), to think of them somewhat humorously.

as much as i believe life is sacred, we are just humans, and we are all flawed, and if my flaws can make you laugh, then at least there is something good about my flaws. i wish people would make jokes about me when i'm dead.
