A survivor of the Holocaust dies and goes to heaven, whereupon they are met by God.
“Welcome!” says God. “What’s the news from Earth?”
“Well,” says the survivor, “I learned a funny joke. Want to hear it?”
“Sure,” says God.
The survivor starts telling the joke. “Okay, so one day Hitler announces, ‘I’m going to kill 6 million Jews and 1 clown.’”
“Wait,” says God, “Why 1 clown?”
“Aha! See? No one cares about the Jews!”
There’s a beat. God realizes that was the punchline.
God is not amused. “I don’t find Holocaust jokes very funny.”
“Ah, well, I guess you had to be there.”
Heckle this joke
