That's what gris-gris is for. I use it *because* I want to be nasty: I know what happens when one dies in a fire, and I want that to occur to the horrid person. That’s what gris-gris is for.

There are so many expressions (and jokes) that I always found in poor judgement yet people insist they're only harmless figures of speech and self-censorship if you think otherwise. I like the idea of the Monty Python-esque sayings. It hurts nobody. Good for you for posting this!

I knew a few folks who had been burned plus removed a few charred bodies. Its not a way I want to die. (most died of smoke inhalation)I also have been burned several times. It hurts. On one hand we used gallows humor to offset the horror. Joking about the things made us mask our real emotions. Calling a burned person Mr. Chrispy just kept you from really thinking about the situation at hand. In this case what you are talking about, when I hear this from someone who hasn't been in this situation I immediately think what a douche bag this person is. Thank you for this and all your posts. I enjoy your blog and I don't really give a rats ass about financial aid. :) Hey Chris-
