---as it turns out i did not"

If a person had the wits about them to come out with that answer, I'd be more amused than worried.

Dear beloved It is with my deepest condolences and a bit of blood in my mouth that I write to you now, to inform you that I am in fact not safely within my abode, but rather curled up in a ditch just off I95. You need not come to my rescue, as the mud here is actually quite comfortable and the homeless vagrants are good company. From your favorite corpse to be, Susan

Baldrick: “But did he really have to dot the I with his kidney?”

Black Adder: “No Baldrick; I think it just kind of… fell there.”

There is almost an identical conversation in Red Dwarf.

Cat: "What I don't understand is why he went through the trouble of using his kidney as a full stop.."

Rimmer: "I don't think he meant to do that, it probably just..ploped out"

The black adder quote is made up, because I knew I had heard this on a show somewhere, and google was not yielding any results for “killed write blood kidney skit”

Thank you for telling me where I had this joke in my head from. Damn Red Dwarf was good

Yes! Did you know they actually did a pilot once for an American version? It was awful!

I did not know, I imagine it’s somewhere in the bowels of YouTube?

If you have not, checking out Orville is worth it, another space comedy

I may just start ending all my emails and letters with that last line “from your favorite corpse to be, jellyfishgod”

I'm a sarcastic individual and I'd like to think that, in the universe in which I wasn't okay, I texted him that and then promptly lost consciousness

As someone who is sarcastic down to my soul, every stressful or serious thing I've been in, I always crack jokes.

My mom's boyfriend shot himself in the foot on accident - nonstop jokes.

I broke my foot in several places- you bet I'm making jokes at my own expense.

My grandmother died - yeah I'm making jokes about how she used to be. And then probably doing a little crying afterwards.

Granny was the toughest and funniest person I've come to live with. The whole family (sons & daughters, cousins, nieces & nephews, grandchildren, great-grandchildren), friends, me included, were cracking jokes, all day, non-stop, at her funeral.

Even the farewell elegy was laugh after laugh at the comedic events of her long life. There was not much crying, but no bad feelings whatsoever. We all loved her, we all enjoyed her presence in our lifetimes; but her time on this Earth was due; we all knew she was ready to go, so that was it.

She always looked on the bright side of life (whistles).

Humor is definitely one of my coping mechanisms as well. And I can always tell when I’m making a genuine joke, or I’m just trying to make light of a very serious situation, because my therapist won’t laugh at the latter.
