Harper Agriculture Minister jokes about Listeria

I can't believe how much has been made of this. Yeah, it was insensitive and Yeah, it's gallows humour.
Gallows humour is a coping mechanism. Who here hasn't done it? The last time I remember using it
myself was on the Thread about the Greyhound beheading....as in, "Where you beheading?" I wasn't
the only one either. Hell, it was funny and it was on a public forum....so it could have potentially reached
many more people than this "...of a thousand cold cuts" guy if the media hadn't jumped on it.
We're all guilty. We've all done it. We're all a bunch of Bastards. Myself included. Going forward....

"Where you beheading" ? That's great. I will be using it.

That one was good, but there are better ones on that thread if you're willing to look it up.
