    As a retired combat veteran I can tell you that a vast majority of service members have what most people would call a dark sense of humor. And being shot at, having IEDs blow up around you, the only way you can deal with it is to make jokes about it. We crack on each other and cut each other down a lot, but that really means we love each other. The only time you have to worry is when your fellow soldiers hardly acknowledge you or never say rude things to you. Heck most of my officers and even a General or two would say crazy things or laugh if I said something crude to them. One Colonel used to always tell me nasty jokes!!

    I like the Spirit airline jokes.
    Ironically, the best flights I’ve had in the last decade were on Spirit. The negative publicity meant having room to extend your elbow into the empty seat next to you, but the best surprise was that the flight attendants were relaxed and friendly. Often now the flight attendants (on other airlines) seem to be on edge and wary - to the point of being defensive if you say thank you.
    So, I decided to give this little acknowledgment to them in your comments section.

      First time (and last time) I was on Spirit, the attendants were fighting with one of the passengers and they wouldn't stop loudly talking about it among themselves. So loud that not even headphones could block their incessant complaining, while they disregarded the rest of the passengers and blocked the restroom... so very unprofessional. It takes two, but the situation was diffused ans they wanted to escalate it.
      Besides that, the last minute cancelling, and rescheduling to where they charged me extra and couldn't do anything about. Just a horrible experience overall.

Someone misread the implications behind the use of their organization's Sparky vest in the joke and took offense, without realizing that it was one that brought good publicity to their goals and efforts in ministry, as people will want to know more about it and be encouraged to have children participate to get to know God more through their ministry.

I want to go to heaven to be with the God Who loves us that much, and if Trump or the vile criminal on the cross who confessed Christ are going there, too, I'm just happy we all make there one day. Remember the Bible says we will be judged by the same measure we judge others; I'm just glad for contrite, broken-hearted humble penitence before God (and others) to be forgiven wherever we've strayed, and to get back on the right path again. God is good to all. I hope we all reciprocate His love through obedience in this life - then we'll be rejoicing in heaven together one day!

      Not really. We're called sociopaths because of it. "Don't you care at all? How can you be so cold?" But as soon as you get a video on EMS workers or detectives being able to push through and ignore emotions, it's, "What a hero! They save lives!" Like, those of us who can emotionally distance ourselves from issues in the domestic may not be saving lives daily, but we're not trying to manipulate you just because we aren't instantly drawn to babies or can cut through your marriage drama to see the issues causing it.

    Yes some people cope with bad news by covering it with a bit of humor. My wife doesn't understand that aspect of me and I hold back on it as she's commented in a few cases why do I laugh at so many things. And the truth is, even within the dark and horrible clouds of life, there is almost always something that can be comedic. Sure it's not the best time for it (too soon, FAR too soon). But it is there, and we cope by grasping at that comedic lining of the cloud.
    And yes I have flown Spirit once .. just once. But in my defense with no luggage that flight the $49 one way fare was hard to beat. And I got in my needed steps pedaling with the rest to keep the plane in the air.

      Being the new guy, I got all the worst jobs. One morning, we had the country corner assistance arrive with an exhumation order. After we/ I, cleared the top of the vault.. I dropped down on the vault cap with my ear to the cap..
      Then I looked up at the M.E. assistant and said did you hear that...
      The look of astonishment on his face.... and he said, "hear what.." with a kind of quiver in his voice..
      I looked him in the eye and said.. "she said she would like five more minutes to get ready".....
      The poor guy didn't know how to take the weird sense of humor.. the way he was peeking over the edge, into the hole when we lifted the cap... you could see the relief when he saw the casket was intact... the whole time getting it on the cart and into his van, I kept acting like I was listening to the casket... By the time everything was signed and he was ready to leave, he was as nervous as a chichihua on meth....
      The next day, the county M.E. called, and asked us not to do that anymore.....
      his assistant was traumatized............
