Listen up, buttercup. This joke is dark, like your chances of winning a Nobel Prize. Tracy Latimer was a severely disabled girl who was killed by her father. The joke here is that the person wishes they were Tracy Latimer so they could be killed, highlighting a very morbid sense of humor about their own life. Your brain's probably still processing that, huh?
