Don't joke about death comedyopenmic week 39

The title says it all, don't joke about death. It's not funny, somebody died, someone lost someone. Doesn't matter if the person in question was a mean person and just got struck by lightning. Or if the person was a wicked teacher who choked on a chalk. Or if the person was a mortuary attendant that used hydrofluoric acid to burn up bodies and clear grave spaces and takes extra money then he epically falls into his hydrofluoric acid. Non of that is funny it could be someone close to you.

That's why I'm not making a joke about it. But this is comedyopenmic and it pays to make jokes doesn't it, I mean can't I just write about nothing on particular and just get good upvotes, ok no? Alright.

My uncle died, and I still like that death is sacred. He was a business man, tooth picks and what not, you'd think that won't sell but it's Nigeria and he was an active stakeholders in the business, he made money ok. He loved to play checkers with his sons and that's when all the fun would happen. These people would sit and insult the shit out of each other, the best was when their dad would be losing and they'd call him a fish, with all confidence. The sons were just him in a younger body. Oh and with the fish calling would come a slap on the back of the head from his heavy hands.

And wouldn't you know it diabetes is a respecter of everyone except those that love sugar, long story short he died of a growing foot ulcer that was mismanaged. It was inevitable.

On the day it happened I walked into the room to watch the two sons playing checkers like nothing had happened. They'd make moves and say shit like 'so that fish don die sorry for him na no more checkers, who go dey cook beans for am for heaven.' translation: so that fish is dead, who will cook beans for him. Next thing you know one child gets labelled fish during the game, he gets up to get food for himself then remembers he was called a fish, then he slapped the other son a chair tumbling slap at the back of his head.

For this deadly joke I nominate @bhoa and @topdollar_001 cause they refused all my calls
