Chris, it is called "Graveyard Humor". The jokes police officers,
ambulance drivers, firemen, soldiers, animal doctors, brain surgeons,
or any other "respected" segment of society tell each other privately
would drive most others right up a tree with disgust. A mortician's
response to a colleague's "Give me a hand" request might be quite odd
in the right circumstances.

Such humor is about all that keeps them relatively sane and functioning.
And it disgusts others who happen to catch it from outside. "Ya gotta
be there to appreciate it" or variants on the phrase really do make a
lot of sense.

The folks in la Jolla, and a lot of other places out here, are faced
with utterly overwhelming situations. So trying to make light of it
is about all they can do to make "keeping on" a tenable prospect. I
know that without my sense of humor about such chronic problems as I
have I'd not be able to keep going. (And I'm pleased to report my off
kilter humor has helped some similarly afflicted people in their quest
to keep going in the face of what seems like overwhelming odds. The
humor puts some perspective on the problems.)

And hoooooboy would I like one of those 150' cranes myself. "Store" it
fully extended to make it less accessible to thieves never mind all those
spidery looking things on top that just look like beams.... Yeah, that's
the ticket.

{^_^} W6MKU, when it hurts so much you want to die some good
laughter can keep you going and even make you want to
keep going. Without humor we aren't human anymore.

What is with you people from Cali?? You all try to take advantage of
others misfortune. And to top it all off, you make light of it. I was
station in San Diego in the Navy in the 70's and people back then then
wern't a bunch of "buttheads" like they are today. Must be the polluted

air

getting to you all, or mavbe the fact that you are on the left coast.

turn

out to be beach fornt property anyway in 5 or 6 years (LOL).
