Bizarre Humour

Before the half term holiday, a colleague was absent because his mother was in the last stages of cancer. That night she died.

The funeral is tomorrow. Today he was looking a bit sad and lost. He is usually a big joker. I felt like giving him a hug, but then another male colleague (there aren't many) came into the classroom, and Andy was suddenly telling stories about his even jokier brother.

Apparently this brother got hold of their mother's phone and sent a text message to their sister. Of course, it arrived at her phone as being from "Mum". The message? "It's really nice here. Hope to see you soon. But not too soon."

What a family! I can't imagine doing such a practical joke at such a sensitive time.

Anyone out there who can match it?
