Re: "when to shoot a patient"

This category of humour is called "Gallow humour" in our language.
I understand and respect the soil from which it has sprung.
Too us living in peace and tranquility it is extremely bad taste but put in 
its own context it should be regarded as a symptom of an evil situation.

Have a nice day
