Related to the recent death of a [British celebrity](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=453642), the worst I’ve heard is “that’s two Jokers dead this year”, which is more of a comment than a joke.

There aren’t really any tasteless, crude jokes doing the rounds that I’ve heard, probably because Heath Ledger wasn’t tasteless and crude.

You guys are all way too kind, I was making Heath Ledger jokes a mere one day later. Here is one of my submissions to the thread “ **Thread titles that will have 0 replies and 0 views** ”"  
[QUOTE=bbs2k]  
Heath Ledger’s fully clothed body was found face down in an apartment today.

too soon???

Equally as sensitive, the first response I recieved:

Not soon enough, I say.

[QUOTE=OneCentStamp]  
And, wow, they’re universally not funny. Not “unfunny,” as in mean-spirited (though some are), but just plain not good jokes.  
[/QUOTE]  
Well, some of them are. The one about his cat was funny, and I liked the one about “what is the difference between me and Heath Ledger”?

_Chacon a son gout_ and all that. I wouldn’t have been able to pick Heath out of a line up, so maybe that makes a difference.

I’m way to engrossed in Beadle jokes myself but will happily submit this:

‘What is black, white and hungry’

‘Heath Ledgers cat’.
