I‘ll probably give this book one or two more chapters, but I‘m within a hair‘s breadth of bailing. Maybe my sense of humor is lacking, but I don‘t find anything funny about giving a two-week old baby a cocktail sausage and making jokes about her giving a Teletubby a blow job. FFS
CSeydel It‘s bad enough as idle idiocy but Jane is doing this while Charlie is trying to share his horror that a man he was talking to got hit by a bus before his eyes. Instead of listening she makes sex jokes about his two-week old daughter (whose mother, Charlie‘s wife, died in childbirth, so he‘s still dealing with that). There‘s “black humor” and then there‘s just … whatever this is. 3d
Bookwomble Comedians and humourists often say that you can make a joke out of anything, but this quotation demonstrates that just because you can, doesn't mean you should! 🤢 2d

CSeydel @Bookwomble For sure. I don‘t think of myself as overly sensitive, but that just wasn‘t funny. 2d
CSeydel @Lesliereadsalot truly! 2d
