At the same time, you have every right to make them.

I'm not a big fan of those kinds of dark jokes. But I recall an episode of home improvement when jill's dad (aka the kid's grandpa) dies, and Randy is making "tasteless" jokes. It's just how people deal with mortality, and it's not like any of us know Shad in a way that should make us legitimately upset by some silliness.

Just feel the preachiness high-horse stuff isn't necessary.
