You are right that we should never take ourselves too seriously, so in that frame of mind I offer the following (unfortunately mostly bad) 9/11 jokes:

Did you hear the one about American Airlines new deal? They’ll fly you straight from the airport to the office.

Knock knock!
Who's there?
Knock knock!!
Knock knock who?
Knock knock knocked all your towers down!


What is the New York City Fire Department's favorite song?
"It's Raining Men"


What's Al Qaida's favorite football team?
The New York Jets

What does WTC stand for?
What Trade Centre?

When does a pentagon have four sides?
When it intersects a plane.

What was the last thing going through Mr. Jones' head when he was working on the World Trade Center's 90th floor?
The 91st floor.

What's the last thing that went through the minds of the 9/11 jumpers?
Their ankles.

I don’t just don’t hear that many triangle shirt factory jokes, I guess. I must be missing out. It's not the comedy I don't dig--it's the lameness.

This is just plain not funny. I guess it's true, somethings should just be off limits.

"By 1911 the Triangle Shirtwaist Company had already become well known outside the garment industry: the massive strike by women's shirtwaist makers in 1909, known as the Uprising of 20,000, began with a spontaneous walkout at the Triangle Company. During the strike, owners Blanck and Harris, two anti-union leaders, paid hoodlums to attack the protesting workers and hired prostitutes as replacement workers to show contempt for the strikers."  I don't see how that would have accomplished much, whores really only do good work on their backs.

Ya, I guess you are right, there aren't many good triangle shirt factory jokes either.

But one might wonder if enough time is passing beyond the murders of so many people, that the staggering body blow has started to heal. Perhaps by the very writing of your tasteless jokes, you are giving bin laden the finger.

You are saying to him. "You haven't hurt us as badly as you thought."

And then I think again, and still feel we should rebuild the twin towers but make them even taller than before.

A farmer steps into his house, walks into his kitchen and speaks to his woman; "Woman, we're going hunting!"

"I don't want to go hunting with you."

"Woman, you listen here, we're going hunting."

"No."

"Right then, I'll give you three choices." the man said, "Either we go hunting, or you give me a blowjob, or I do you up your rear end, you hear me? Now think about that while I fetch the dog."

Ten minutes later the man returns and asks his wife, "Well, have you decided?"

"Yes, I'll give you a blowjob."

So she gets on her knees as he drops his pants and goes at it. Two seconds in to it she stops, spits and exclaim; "My god, it tastes like shit!" "No wonder," the farmer said, "the dog didn't want to go hunting either."

I like rude jokes, tasteless and crude jokes but some things....well, even I draw the line on 9-11. But thanks anyway.

A man walks to a skyscraper, and takes the elevator to the 100th floor where the bar is located. He orders a martini, drinks it, then jumps out the window. 5 minutes later, he walks back into the bar, orders a martini, drinks it, then jumps out the window. 5 minutes later, he walks back into the bar, orders a martini, drinks it, but before he can jump out the window, a fellow patron at the bar says "Hold it! How do you do that? I've seen you jump out the 100th floor two times now! Thats just impossible!" The man then says, "Well it's quite simple. Science! When you drink a martini you're filled with hot air, so you just float safely down to the ground." The man at the bar says "Holy moly, really?" So he orders a martini, drinks it, jumps out the window, and goes splat on the sidewalk. The bartender says to the man, "You know superman, when you're drunk, you're really a jerk."

I still haven't forgiven the Japanese for Pearl Harbor. 9/11 ain't goin' away anytime soon.

at your jokes Pumpkin, only problem is he isn't here to read them, one of the guys with his ankles through his brains.

Despicable, and I am sure you will find an "ether laden esoteric" way to defend this post.

Sorry I read it and decided to respond to it.
