That Jerry Springer joke was the only thing that caused something that can be described as a chuckle.
All the rest...

10, 50, 100? yrs from now, these will be funny, so whats the point in holding it in now? coz some dumbass said "oh its too early for jokes yet". So why laugh about them years from now?

Hypocricy, the worlds followers are full of it.

What's so awful about these jokes? It's humour for crying out loud - it's a way to deal with this event, a way to set aside the mourning and get back to normal life.

Or something...

I'm not offended my these jokes. It's just that it is very rare for me to laugh at anything. Ask my friends,oh I don't have any.

I'm surprised that it took this long for someone to be able to post these without being completely flamed. The long length of time shows how much impact it had. Heck, after the shuttle disaster, it was only a couple of weeks before the crude jokes started showing up. I'm sure there will be a few people that will feel this is insensitive, but you do have to move on. My wife's cousin was never found, but she has finally moved on. I do, however, wish they were a little funnier. Only a couple really caused a chuckle.

Humor is always a good treatment for grief.

Gotta agree. I love sick humor, but these are lame (except for the one Eli Dalgetti liked; that made me laugh, too).

That was actually my favorite. It's horrible, but that's what makes it funny. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Its a lot easier to laugh at that when you didnt see the people jumping to escape the flames or hear the sound of their bodies hitting the ground.

some are funny (mostly the muslim/arab ones) but some of them are just completely horrible, like some of the holocaust jokes i've heard....

In a greek jokes mailing list I visit, the first WTC joke in the archive dates from September 14.

I remember there was a thread in Apolyton containing some WTC jokes back then, where I had posted some too, but then anyone who contributed was flamed to the death.

------------------------------------------------------

- What is OBL's favourite band?
- Massive Attack.

- Who are the fastest readers in the world?
- New Yorkers. Some of them go through 110 stories in 5 seconds

GWBush is sleeping, when a secretary runs in to announce the WTC attack.
- Mr President, wake up quick, somebody ****ed our Twins!
- Nah, I bet it's that perv Clinton again!

Why couldn't the WTC disaster ever happen in Greece?
- Because in Greece the planes are never on time and the employees are never on their desks at 8:00.

There were an American, a Russian and an Arab in a plane, going to NYC. The stewardess asked them if they would have anything to drink. The American asked for a whiskey, the Russian for a vodka and the Arab said: "No thanks, I'll be driving soon..."

OBL accepted to give himself up to the Americans, under one condition: that the plane taking him to America will be flown by himself...

I understand you Caligastia and I am sure that most people if they were present would feel the same but I bet you have laughed at list once in the past with a joke refering to a disaster or war.

I feel like such a scumbag for finding these funny, but I can't help it.

Here are two I heard.


Q. Whats Osama bin Ladens favourite food?

A. A big apple crumble.


Q. What's his favourite flavour of crisp?

A. Plain.


I expect retalitory strikes with 'Scotchmen' jokes.

I don't think the jumping people are at all funny. I was trying to resist laughter, but I gave up after reading that one I quoted above.

I didn't see any mourning when 20 000 people died in a several quakes at India, 5/2001.
Nor when the Taleban destroyed over 3 000 year old, world's biggest statues in Afg.

Oh Well... *jumps into flame-protected bunker*.

Agreed. Generally all WTC jokes have been very lame, and not funny.
