Dozing Off on 9/11

The joke plays on the dark humor of a tragic historical event, the September 11 attacks. The humor comes from the unexpected juxtaposition of the mundane act of falling asleep while driving with the catastrophic event of a passenger plane on 9/11. The absurdity and unexpectedness make it morbidly funny.

• What was racing through people's minds during 9/11? Probably a plane. (:
• I don't understand the plane crash at 9/11. My dad was a great pilot!
• POV: You are a passenger on September 11th, 2001, and you see the pilots wearing a Muslim turban.
• If 9/11 happened again, I want to share a selfie of me flying that plane.
