Q: What do you do with a baby that keeps crying? A: You probably shouldn’t shake him, because that could hurt him. Instead, check his diapers to see if excrement is making him uncomfortable. Also attempt to feed him, and don’t forget to relieve him of his gas. If that fails, remember not to shake him. You’re going to want to shake him, but don’t. Attempt to rock him to sleep. Be patient. Only if this fails, consider consulting a physician on whether or not you should take up a shaking regimen. ---

Umm, **chaoticdonkey,** you may wish to email the mods and notify them of this thread, before they find it on their own. The last dead baby joke thread was closed (and deleted, from memory) because this is apparently one sphere of humour not welcome on these boards. ---

You know when dead baby jokes are appropriate? Neither do I, but they go over well at my job when we have to deal with real dead babies. Gallows humor and all that, I guess. ---

Guess the mods don’t care, otherwise they’d have closed this by now. What’s the worst thing about eating bald pussy? Putting the diaper back on before the parents get home. ---

We’re attempting to raise the tone of the board, folks. Threads of this nature are counter to that goal. * * * **Cajun Man** ~ SDMB Moderator [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dead-baby-jokes-offensive-to-some/197215.md?page=1)
