So by that logic, assuming they would never read it, it really isn't all the bad to do. On the other hand there is the thought that something like this should not be made fun of since it was random and could have happened to anyone and making jokes shows a more general insensitivity. Not sure which way I fall on that.

Why do people think it is bad to make jokes? Not a challenge but pure curiosity to help me settle my thoughts on it.

You read way too many books as a child.
