Bumpy Road or Straight Path?

Show original

We wrote letters to a kid with cancer. My letter read, "It's a bumpy road but soon you will have a straight path." People didn't realize it was meant for his heart monitor.

Explanation

The joke is based on a double meaning. The phrase "straight path" is normally used to represent recovery and a bright future, but in the context of a kid with a heart monitor, "straight path" can refer to the flat line that means death. The humor comes from the unexpected and morbid twist on a common expression. The author's message was meant as encouragement, but their word choice makes it sound like they're talking about death. The misinterpretation adds to the dark humor.

it is a joke.its not real.GOD DAM SNOWFLAKES,GET OFF THIS WEBSITE!!!!!! still really funny.

Ok Snowflake on this website it is so get the fucj of this website

What is funnier than a cancer patient? A cancer patient that is also a child that is paraplegic, blind and quad amputee trying to get out of mud.

To the ones complaining that cancer is not a joke: Cancer may not be a joke, but the words above are. Stop being pussies and suck it up, it's a dark joke website.

Nigeard you are the one wanting to read dark jokes why are you made that it's a dark joke

that's the worst ''joke'' I have ever heard!!!

no im not going this is not a joke my mom has cancer.

so let me get this straight... you’re mom had cancer, and you find none of this funny, yet you refuse to leave the website?

Why are you making jokes about cancer? It's super viewer ... I don't understand why people find crushel jokes funny.

its called a joke for a reason

For you people that are offended.... look at it in logical terms. You came to this website FULLY AWARE of what the content would be, so you cannot claim that you didn't know. That would be like consciously turning the tv station to ESPN and then complaining when you saw that it showed sports content. In essence, here, the concept is the same. You don't like dark humor? Fine. But, refrain from.visiting such sites if you know it's going to be there

Yall are right, this is not a joke. He really did write that letter referring to his heart monitor.

It took me along time befor I got it but that was good

Why do people keep getting on a site for DARK HUMOR, It says MORBID HUMOR in the name, If you cant take it, then get off of this site, other than that, the joke was good.

@anonomus, I agree. People are just unnecessary these days
