How are you on dark humor? It should be sad to hear of people dying, even folks who are of a disliked set of people. But sometimes it is somewhat funny too. Like this story in the New York Times today. It seems that a group of students and the teacher at an academy of the Islamic Republic of Iraq and Syria were killed. What happened is the teacher was showing the class how to work a bomb that is strapped to you. Unfortunately, or you may think fortunately, the belt was loaded with explosives instead of a dummy belt. So when the teacher pressed the button to show the class how to do it, he did it. That is to say, he blew them all up including himself.
Now like I said, it's not nice to wish evil toward anybody. But if you're gonna wish evil toward anybody, this might have been the group you'd most like to wish that evil toward. But here's the thing, this academy was a bit north of Baghdad. It was somewhat known to be a school for terrorists. Right there. Right where they had easy access to the folks they planned to blow up.
So how did the neighbors take the news? One person called a friend with the news and was described as being as happy as though it were his wedding day. Presumably he enjoyed his wedding day. Now I admit I shant attend the funerals. I do wonder, though, do these students get the 20 or so virgins promised them? What about any women in the class? Do they get 20 male virgins? What about the teacher? Maybe he'll be forced to be one of the virgins.
Ya see how dark humor goes? It can take hold of you and force you to have dark thoughts. But I don't think dark humor gets you any virgins. Unless they have horns and tails. And one of them just possibly was a teacher in his past life. So remember, if you enjoy some dark humor, you'd best ask for a little forgiveness. You probably needed it anyway.
