I thought it was funny. I called my wife in to read it, and she chuckled.

Surely, it can be inappropriate as well, and it can easily be not funny to some.

I have bad knees, and have fallen down the stairs. I got hurt, and am not a fan of making fun of people getting hurt, but there are some comedians who still make me laugh at some very physical comedy. I believe we all must try to see the humor in things.

I have a great friend who is 90 years old. The last 5 years have been very difficult on him, and he is barely walking with a walker. His whole life is very much impacted negatively because of his mobility issues, and I feel terrible about it. But as bad as I feel, watch Tim Conway play an old man on a re-run of Carol Burnett show, and see that anything can be funny, if done well, and viewed without trying to be offended.

This may not be PC. It may not be need to be posted on SC. It may not even appeal to everyone. But I cannot endorse that it is not funny.
