I agree that gallows humor is goodas long as its respectful enough not to just act as an arguement instigation technique for those who were actually affected by the event. In other words, jokes about Hitler are funny because most people directly involved in that war are dead and gone, not likely to get pissy about it. Jokes about TWC are still likely to get a fistfight started if they're told in the wrong crowd.
