I'd like to see that picture. Sounds hilarious to me...
With all due sensitivity to the tragic events of the week, c'mon people,
lighten up! Maybe lack of humor is part of the problem. Yeah, so people
died. People die every day. Sometimes it's funny (witness the Darwin
awards), sometimes it's not.
How about that cliche, "Laughter is the best medicine." Perhaps lack of
laughter contributed to this awful incident in the first place.
If you can't laugh about it, how are you going to deal with it?
Cheers,
John
