Then there are the tasteless jokes you kinda feel bad about for laughing at them. I still remember the 1986 Challenger jokes. What did the sharks eat? Launch meat. What did Christa McAuliffe tell her husband before she left? “You feed the dogs, I’ll feed the fish”. (For N.E. Patriots fans): What did the shuttle flight have in common with Super Bowl XX? They were both good for about 86 seconds. Why do they serve Coke at NASA? Because they couldn’t get “Seven Up”
Groooooan...sorry
Sometimes humor can get us through tough times. Hawkeye on MASH said he cracked jokes because it was better to laugh than scream.
