these gags built around some stranger's tragic death remind me of the time I was at a party and got chatting to this young scottish lad by the bar, who asked me if I'd heard of Colin McRae. "Colin McRae the helicopter Pilot?" I asked, "No, the rally driver." the lad said. "Oh yes," I said with a sly grin, "He wasn't really much of a helicopter pilot was he?" The lad looked at me, his eyes filled and he said "He was my Uncle, those were my cousins who died with him in that crash." What can you do? You can't retract the gag, pretend you didn't mean it. "Sorry," I said, "Not the best of taste." And shuffled off. Anyone experienced similar?

What a poof.
of course, I should've told him to stop being such a poof and smacked him one. It was about 2 weeks after the event.

I know someone who got a knighthood in the Birthday Honours list. He's a cock.
Musn't be much fun, though, getting blown up.

According to that news article they do a 'dangerous job'. Surely tanker drivers have a more dangerous job, I mean - they're practically driving a bomb around, poor tanker drivers.

It's not like a tanker explosion is really a big deal. Mostly they just seem to *tousle the ties and hair of passers-by.

Tanker drivers don't get the same level of job satisfaction of introducing hope into a troubled region, though do they? Tanker drivers just get latte's.

Well. Let's face it, my A-game is wasted here. Everyone already hates me. What else is left to achieve? Out there there's forums with hundreds of people, just waiting for me to alienate myself. From. Them.
