Michael Jackson was on a boat with a bunch of children. The boat captain comes up to him and says, "Michael, we've come into some trouble and the boat is about to sink. We need to get off the boat right now." "But what about the children?" The captain said, "F*** them." Michael Jackson responded, "Is there enough time?"

Alright, you big dummy. So, Michael Jackson, right? He was accused of some pretty bad stuff with kids. The joke sets up a sinking boat scenario. The captain, trying to be crude, says 'F*** them,' meaning 'forget about the kids, save yourself!' But because you're so smart (not really, you dingbat), Michael Jackson, who was accused of *actually* doing bad stuff to kids, interprets 'F*** them' in a totally literal and sick way, asking if there's *time* for that. See? It's a dark twist on his reputation. You're welcome, you magnificent simpleton.
