How dark is your sense of humor?

[royalfan5]

I have a very dark sense of humor. I also have strange familiy that tends towards arson, and dying young of fluky things, and other strange things happening. I believe I get it from my Grandfather.
Sample joke from my grandfathers
(Rfan5's paternal grandfather-Hey Matt, who am I?(While his hand is shaking,he has Parkinson's)
Me-I don't know
Rfan5's grandpa-I'm Michael J. Fox)
My maternal Grandfather mostly made jokes about his amputed legs and refused to wear pants because he didn't see the point without legs. Either way, I have a dark sense of humor, I was wondering who else was with me.

I make jokes about people needing to get aids or cancer. Does that count?

Your Grandpa's joke made me chuckle, so I'm in.

My grandaddy killed a dude with a knife when said dude walked in on his old lady and my gramps bumping uglies. He was acquitted on self-defense.

I gotta cousin doing Lw/oP in Big Mac. Back in the 80's, he ran a gas station/used car lot just off I-35 in Davis, but he was from Ardmore and always made fun of the Davis hillbillies. One fine day, he shot and killed an 18 y/o Davis kid who confronted and assaulted him over a used car deal. Cuz sold the kid a POS that turned out to be a lemon and the kid wanted his money back.

Cuz's big mistake? Had his 11 y/o son put a knife in the corpse's hand while the cops were enroute, then lied about the fact the kid he shot was unarmed. Then, the dumarse hired a a big-buck diamond-encrusted OKC criminal lawyer to defend him in a Davis OK court.

Me and my brother still laugh about that one at Christmas every year.

Crimescene: woman has been hit in the head with a shotgun slug. She's at one end of a hallway. At the other end of the hallway is a clothes hamper.

Since a chunk of her brain made its way into the hamper, we called it a 3-point shot.

I've got more...

Magnolia starts with an intro describing three events which set the mood for the movie by urging the audience to think about supposed coincidences which occur "all the time." The events are:

1. Sir Edmund William Godfrey, a resident of Greenberry Hill, London, U.K, is murdered by three vagrants by the names Joseph Green, Stanley Berry, and Daniel Hill. Based on the murder of Edmund Berry Godfrey.

2. A scuba diver, Delmer Darion, dies of a heart attack when he is accidentally picked up by a fire fighting airplane scooping water to put out a forest fire. The pilot of the plane, Craig Hansen, had met Darion a few days prior at the casino where he worked as a blackjack dealer, and had started a fight with him. The guilt and the measure of coincidence caused the pilot to commit suicide.

3. A 17 year old boy, Sydney Barringer, whose attempted suicide by jumping off the roof of his apartment building became a "successful homicide" when he was accidentally shot by his mother as he fell past his own apartment window. His parents regularly argued and threatened each other with a shotgun, which was not normally kept loaded. Sydney had loaded the gun a few days prior so that his parents would make good on their threats to kill each other, and in doing so, unwittingly became an accomplice in his own murder..

If you work in medicine, you eventually develop a dark sense of humor.

I growed up on Mad as a kid and National Lampoon as a teen.
So I'm fairly warped.
And that's not counting all the abuse and neglect either.

I growed up on Mad as a kid and National Lampoon as a teen.

I done did that too.

I would assume most everyone here has a darker side to their funny bone.

Homey, the lawyer part is the icing on that cake. Is Cuz still in the pen? He could have easily had a manslaughter conviction and served... oh... not quite as long.

Then again, that's probably what he was charged with. Never mind.
