The other joke and meme thread
@Squint-eyed Southerner ... yeah... not in the best of taste (no pun intended) .
But then again, the Titanic sank over a hundred years ago.
Time can deaden a lot of bad events, or put them at such far remove that they don't seem quite real.
 
Oh please... you know that for at least 10 years after the Titanic, someone on the bridge of almost any ship would yell "Iceberg!... haha, made you look!"

It's human nature.😋

You know, I wonder about that.
Yes, the temptation would be there, but I have a feeling even the "class clown" would hold back.
Kind of like you wouldn't make jokes about the Towers coming down on 9/11, even some time after it happened.
I have watched comedians make jokes that exploit a disaster situation and, unless a lot of time has passed, the line generally falls pretty flat with the audience.
There are few nervous titters but mostly a thundering silence.
