Or if someone was raped after a 'drunken' episode would you think that was funny?

i live in sleahole. (sleaford) heard about this earlier from a friend but only just realised she was from there.

how on earth could you fail to realise such a large piece of stuff was logded inside your patient? bizarre.

what a waste. poor kids.

good grief words fail me

someone slips and a bit of a bog brush is embedded in their arse - moderately funny i suppose yes

BUT

that poor woman was misdiagnosed and left in pain for years before dying on the operating table... someone's wife and mother, someone's friend, someone's daughter. sorry but that isn't funny at all.

this has been widely reported where i live as i'm in lincolnshire, but this is the first time i've heard of anyone finding it funny

I agree - falling over when plastered and ending up with bog brush in bottom is a bit funny. Misdiagnosis, suffering and death via huge blood loss in doubtless very traumatic circumstances is Not Funny in the slightest.

exactly.. I don't think anyone is disagreeing with the fact that she died being tragic.

And to answer swanandduck's rather random question - no I don't think rape is funny.

It wasn't a random question. You mentioned in a previous post that if you happened to die during a drunken mishap with a household implement people were welcome to snigger. Maybe you did't mean to, but you implied that because the person was drunk that made it less serious.
