Overheard

This morning two blokes climbed on at Pickering and recognized another co-worker/friend/some dude already on-board.

One of the men greeted this person by exclaiming, "Well you were busy this weekend, flying down to Mexico and blowing up hotels and all."

All three laughed.

I did not. I'm pretty sure anyone sitting nearby who could possibly be related to a tourist currently in a Mexico hospital wouldn't find it funny, either.

Go ahead and crack tasteless jokes. But for God's sake, know *when* to do it.

    Oddly enough -- this was the exact resort my husband and I stayed at in Feb 2009. It was a beautiful hotel.

    Hopefully they figure out what went wrong (especially if it is swamp gas -- there are a lot of resorts along that stretch).

    My condolences to the families who lost loved ones in this tragedy. This is definitely not something to be cracking jokes about.

    I agree. This is sad. A little boy was killed. Some people have no class and no filter, either!
