One thing I despise about shock humor

[Brian37]

In the words of the great Mel Brooks, 'Tragedy is when I stub my toe.  Comedy is when YOU fall into an open manhole and die.'

I used to do a segment on my public access radio show about stories about the odd and embarrassing ways people die.

I don't believe in an afterlife of course. But I did run into a story about a lady who worked at a wast water treatment plant, and fell into a pool of waste and drowned. 

If there was an afterlife I imagined her waiting in line trying to get into heaven with small talk in the line going something like this.

Guy in front of her, "Well I died jumping on a grenade to save my buddy."

Woman behind her, " I died running into a fire to save a baby."

Guy in front of her, "So how did you die?"

Waste Water victim, " I ........(mumbles)"

Women behind her, "I am sorry I didn't hear that."

Waste Water victim, " I..... (mumbles)"

Guy in front of her, " Speak up."

Waste Water victim, " I FELL INTO A VAT OF HUMAN WASTE WHERE WORKED AND DROWNED, YOU HAPPY NOW?"
