Oh, hell, Sloman - there are billions of death jokes. If you can't
laugh at death, then all you can do is cry.

For Example:

On little Johnny's first day of school, the teacher says, "Let's all
go around the room and introduce themselves, and tell us a little
about yourself." So, the kids are primarily talking about what Daddy
does for a living, and it's little Johnny's turn.

He says, "My Daddy doesn't do NOTHING!"
"Oh, why's that?"
"'Cause he's DEAD!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that., What did he do before he died?"
<twitching> "KKKHHHHHKKKXXXXXX!"

Now that is funny - and it is fabricated around the death of just one
human being. The sex of the victim is identified, but it isn't
material to the joke (it would be just as funny if, if slightly less
plausible, if little Johnny had lost his mother), and there aren't any
ethnic slurs, so I can't imagine that even the most politically
correct of commentators would find it anything worse than sick.
