Of course it can be funny in a dark hysterical sense.

My friend Tyrone was shanked with a single puncture wound to his heart. He fell at the door of a small neighborhood grocery store. Nothing funny about that but the feeble efforts of another acquaintence to slow the bleeding...

Hard to fathom how much blood flows from a single tiny wound or how far it will spray out until pressure is lost...

There's your ART Tom... Go KILL...
