Gallows Humor

Some of the Facebook groups I belong to have prohibited Gallows Humor.

I understand the need to keep focused in getting out of this mess in several towns and cities of Mexico; Huitzuco, Jojutla, Mexico City, ...

Anyway here is one joke.

There is a monument to 'The Mother', near my place in Mexico City.

It has a tall tower, and a statue depicting a huge mother figure with a baby. Every Mother's Day there are celebrations in that beautiful park.

The mother statue is smaller than the tower. The joke is that if there is a war and Mexico City is bombed, they will get the tower, but not the mother.

¡Nos dieron en La Torre, pero no en La Madre!

In Mexican slang to be hit in the tower is bad, but much worse if we get hit in the mother.

This terrible earthquake on September 19, 2017, really destroyed the mother, but not the tower.

Sad.

Now  everything has to be put back, if you ask me, The Mother First!
