Something about the sinkhole in Florida made me LOL

[Bay Boy]

I was listening to the radio and thought I heard them say the victims name was Jeb Bush. (it's actually Jeff Bush) But it seemed like divine intervention if had been Jeb.

1. The man is most likely dead, nothing at all to LOL about....n/t

[Squinch]

3. +1

It's pretty tragic.

[Bay Boy]

6. I wasn't laughing at the unfortunate man's presumed death.

I was laughing at my own mis-hearing of the name.

[bettyellen]

8. well gosh, that's hilarious.

if you're in grade school.

[bettyellen]

2. jeeze, that's fucked up.

[MadHound]

4. The guy is probably dead, nothing to laugh about,

A tragedy all the way around.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

10. Of all the ways to go being buried alive is noth the one

that I would choose.

Sad.

[JI7]

18. assuming he has died i hope it happened fast

or at least that he lost consciousness quickly.

this is one of those where i keep thinking about the victim and what they went through. the brother says he heard him scream although i don't know if this was during the collapse or after he was already buried down there.

5. It would have been better to be Jeb than Jeff. Poor Jeff. :(

[Democracyinkind]

7. This is not funny, as others have pointed out... BUT

If you'd told me that the earth opened up beneath a guy named Bush and swallowed him, my first thought would have been "Chimpy's going home"...

[stlsaxman]

11. I heard the AP News headline as well and I swore she said "Jeb Bush"...

i didn't laugh but my mouth dropped open and i said

- "OMFG!!!"

[4 t 4]

13. Oh, That thought is really something you shouldn't have

written, right ? really not funny at all imagine being home safe in your bed asleep and then just in pain and?, what could be more scary or more awful ?

[stlsaxman]

14. .... excuse me- and you're who?

[4 t 4]

15. I am your father....

[stlsaxman]

16. I would have an infinite amount of respect for you if you were

HALF the man my father was.

Did you work on the Manhattan Project at the University of Chicago under Herman Schlesinger?

Did you develop boron as an integral part of cable shielding?

Did you have Inorganic Chemistry Magazine Vol. 1 No. 1 dedicated to you?

Did you open the Chemistry Dept. at St. Louis University?

Did you threaten to resign from that university when the Jesuits refused to award a Ph. D. to one of your star pupils because he was black?

Were you put in front of HUAC to testify that, no, your boss on the Manhattan Project was not a communist? (when in fact- you were a Marxist Catholic?)

I could go on and on but i've already wasted too much of your time.

[Bay Boy]

17. How many years have you been waiting fo

someone to ask that question so you could drop all that info on them?

[stlsaxman]

20. uh... i dunno- just happened on a whim, really.

guess i was just in a pissy "don't fuck with my father" type mood.

gave me an excuse to go way off-topic.... but i mean- C'MON... I posted the fact that "i didn't laugh"- right???

now the guy is DU mailing me with "I will put money on the fact that I've been here for many more years than you. , you got nothing, excuse me and you are ??"

hmmmm... "Member since: Wed May 11, 2005, 09:59 AM "

He just might loose all that money- I been here since before the member reset of 2001...

"Member since: 2001" iow- the beginning.

[malaise]

19. Love it

[OldDem2012]

12. Trashing as remarkably not funny in the least....3....2.....1.....GONE!! nt.

[cali]

21. something that would have been better kept to yourself,

it's better not to broadcast stupid stuff. We all have passing thoughts that are stupid or callous or both, but uttering every thought that runs through one's head, is foolish.

[alphafemale]

22. You find humor in someone being sucked into the cold earth from their bed?

I can barely imagine anything more horrifying.

Especially also for the brother witnessing it.

Do you always suck or just when you can post things anonymously?
