Currency is the issue here
We can all make fun of the black death in Monty Python... "bring out ye dead"... it's kind of funny or the grim reaper seen "i am death" funny.
Making light of something that is happening now, not so funny.
911 Twin Towers jokes, Pakistan earth quake jokes & bird flu jokes are all in poor taste, because of their currency, this is real for people so it's not funny!
now if it's death humor you want<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.. this is funny
Mildred was a 93-year-old woman, particularly despondent over the death of her husband, Earl. She decided she would just kill herself and join him in death. Thinking that it would be best to get it over with quickly, she took out Earl's old Army pistol and made the decision to shoot herself in the heart, since it was so badly broken in the first place. Not wanting to miss the vital organ and become a vegetable and burden to someone, she called her doctor's office to inquire as to just exactly where the heart would be on a woman. The doctor said, "Your heart would be just below your left breast." Later that night Mildred was admitted to the hospital with a gunshot wound to her knee.
P.S. I'm sure my grandmother would find this equally as offensive because of the currency!
