911 Joke Goes Over My Head

The joke plays on the dual meaning of 'go over my head', which can mean not understanding something and also an object flying over one's head. The second line references the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers, implying that the joke, like a plane, 'hits' the person. It is considered dark humor due to the tragic event.

• Every time I tell a 911 joke, it bombs.
• Every 911 joke isn't that good. Well, at least not until they come crashing down.
• 911 jokes are just plane wrong, my dad was a great pilot you know. This joke probably flew over people's heads, but for some people it flew into their head.
• Me: 911. You: You died 9/11.
