Gallows Humor for the Win! Marine Vet Joey Jones Cracks Up X With One Word Reply to Meme

This writer likes to think she's cultivated a decent sense of self-deprecating humor, and that she can find something absurdly funny in even the darkest of situations. Part of that comes with being a nurse; you develop a really dark sense of humor to get through the day.

But if she lost her legs? She can only hope to be as comfortable laughing at the situation as Marine vet and author Joey Jones because -- hoo boy -- this right here is funny:

Zero. https://t.co/yndqcunWPo

This was one of those jokes that took a beat, but when it landed, it landed hard.

LMAO OK I had to take a sec before I got what you said SMH. Gotta love self deprecating humor.

Dude. Well played.

🤣 I wish I had the strength you have, sir. Sometimes I wonder how I would have handled a situation like yours. I guess ultimately you just have to. I genuinely admire your courage. I hope God continues to bless you in ways beyond even your own imagination. Praise Him.
