Too soon?

ejmaztec

When I see something like this, I don't think it's too soon to come up with a quip, but I'll restrain myself. What do you people think?:o

An elderly gardener drowned after he fell from a step-ladder and landed head first in a water butt, an inquest heard.
Arthur Sexton, 80, was found with both legs poking out of the 4ft deep water container after his wife reported him missing to a neighbour.

I think it is very sad, what else could you think.

Probably a bit cruel to make him the butt of jokes all right.

Trawl the Daily Mail for a sad story and look for a quip?

He was probably just a drain on his family anyway.

I don't fancy another mod/mod wannabe gang raping, thanks all the same.

I think the funniest part is how the highest rated comments on that article are ones of sympathy.. considering the abuse generally directed towards readers of the Daily Mail from the same people making jokes here =p

..also I couldn't think of any puns

I hate this hypocrisy, we should be able to make jokes about anyone who has died or no-one.

I agree.

Get banned if you poke fun at a celebrity, get thanked if you make fun of an unknown dude.

Way to pour cold water on things.
