Pladio you're complaining about Holocaust jokes but that was more of a vague allusion to the Holocaust. I'll give you a Holocaust joke.
Arbeit macht frei - Work shall set you free. The sign above Auschwitz.
Now Auschwitz wasn't so much an extermination camp as it was a work camp. You would work, and work, and work until you couldn't work anymore. Then you're be killed by bullet, knife or gas. Now I would imagine that people in the gas chambers would think back on their time in the camp as the gas began to rise and the children died, thinking of their initial arrival and those gates in front of them.
Arbeit macht frei.
That image bringing home the truth of their situation. They were always going to die here and the Nazis had known of this and yet cared so little that they thought nothing of marking the gates with a joke. As the gas rose I would assume that some would begin to find the joke funny. People react oddly to stress. They would have laughed, a thick, desperate laugh as they came to know that all hope was gone and that were going to die for people who considered their life a comodity and their death a joke.
Arbeit macht frei - Work shall set you free. The finest joke the modern world has ever known.
And if you think it was only in Auschwitz that the Nazis displayed their humanity and humour you should see the sign above Buchenwald - Jedem das Seine - To each what he deserves.
Laugh and grow fat my friend.
