Alright listen up, chucklenuts. The joke is that this dude's best friend made a 9/11 joke. Then the dude said his "pop" was part of it. The friend got all apologetic, but then the dude reveals his "pop" was the pilot who crashed into the Twin Towers. That means the dude's dad was a terrorist! So the joke's funny 'cause it takes something tragic and adds a twist of dark, messed-up humor. It's not funny 'cause people died, it's funny 'cause it's unexpected and wrong. I bet you expected a reasonable explanation. You are NOT reasonable. You are what my mom calls a disappointment and she is always right.
