Dead Men Tell No Jokes
Lincoln Adams | June 5, 2008 @ 1:46 pmWe have a clipboard in our section that shows a list of the latest death notices for workers or workers’ relatives who recently passed away. I noticed one woman had a tendency to check the list every day when she walked by our section. She was doing it again today, so I said:
“Checking to see if the hitman did his job?”
She looked at me without emotion and then walked out of the room.
I turned to my coworker. “Why does nobody appreciate my sense of humor?”

Please tell me why you have a “Latest Death” list at your job? I’d like to say I’ve been around the block several million times, but I have never heard of such a thing!
Do you work for the government? Do my tax dollars pay someone to update the “Latest Death” list?
BTW…I like your sense of humor.

Yep I work for the gubmint, but to be honest, I have no idea why they keep a tally here of people who’s bought the farm.
What’s really disconcerting though is how many people continue to drop like flies.

Is this list on public record?

No, it’s the basically the same as an inter-department memo, so not available for public consumption.

Dude, I gotta say I won’t find it funny either… you can do better than that!

Humorlessness must be a Downstate thing. Here in Upstate, we’d find it hilarious.
