Comments on The Best 9/11 Joke I've Ever Heard...

That's an oldie but goodie.

I don't know, there are those jokes that those unshaven kids outside the University Bookstore tell - about how Bush and Cheney actually made 9/11 happen themselves? They aren't really as funny, I guess, but definitely runner-up material.

I love that joke! I told it on a date once. It didn't go over well.

So 9/11 can be hilarious but rape can't?

When did I ever say rape can't be hilarious? I don't mean to boast, but I share a house with a rape survivor, and our 15-year friendship has been littered with breathtakingly hilarious (albeit hard-earned) rape jokes.

My favorite makes-sense-out-of-context example:

Man: I think you're terrific.
Woman: What about that time you date-raped me?
Man: I told you—that wasn't a date.

I meant visual rape.

You've seriously never heard that joke before? I don't have a lot of jokes in my repertoire (maybe six) but that is one of them. I clicked on the link all stoked for a new 9/11 joke that HAD to be great, since it was you endorsing it, only to find the same ol' joke. It's the only 9/11 joke I've ever even heard.

What did the man say who was plummeting to his death from one of the towers aflame?

Peter, I can see your house from heeeeeeeeeeere.

Why are we celebrating Labor Day late on 9-11?

I thought it was this Monday on 9-1?

twin tower power!

Hey, I've never heard that joke! I guess my friends are too uptight to tell 9/11 jokes. No, that can't be it. Anyway, it was awesome.

Why are New Yorkers the world's fastest readers?

Because some of those fuckers can go through twenty stories in less than a minute.

i first read that on slog last fall. i've been using it ever since.

i don't think it really makes fun of 9/11 -- more poking fun of those in the "NEVER FORGET!1!" crowd.

Did you hear about United Airlines new deal?
They'll fly you from the airport straight to the office.

I have officially laughed at all three of the 9/11 jokes on here.

I thank you for that, Sloggers. Ha!

And the healing has finally begun...

Riddle from 9/12/2001:

Q: Why didn't Superman stop the two planes from hitting the towers?

A: He's in a wheelchair!

(Yes, I know, and now he's dead. Sad trombone. But it made sense back then.)

I saw mc chris tell that joke at one of his concerts
