The Nashville School Shooting: A Body Count We Shouldn't Laugh About (But We Will Laugh At The Absurdity Of It All)
Let's face it, talking about death isn't exactly a barrel of monkeys. But sometimes, you gotta grip the darkness with a little humor, like trying to fight a fire with a squirt gun. So, buckle up, buttercup, because we're wading into the murky waters of the Nashville school shooting...with pool noodles.

How Many People Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb (And End A Killing Spree)?
The answer, tragically, is not very many. In March of 2023, a lone gunman (whose name we mercifully won't mention because infamy is the least we can deny them) decided to play real-life whack-a-mole at a local elementary school. The result? Six innocent lives were lost: three bright-eyed, bushy-tailed youngsters and three equally wonderful faculty members.
Now, before you grab your tissues (because, let's be honest, who didn't cry a river over this?), let's take a moment to appreciate the sheer absurdity of it all. We live in a world where getting a decent cup of coffee can be a struggle, yet someone can walk into a school with enough firepower to launch a small space program. It's enough to make you want to scream into a pillow...or maybe write a darkly comedic blog post.
QuickTip: Read in order — context builds meaning.
But Seriously, Folks...This Isn't Funny.
No, it most certainly isn't. This tragedy shook Nashville to its core, and the ripples of grief are still being felt today. We should be talking about gun control, mental health resources, and how to keep our children safe. We should be demanding change.
But hey, a little laughter never hurt anyone (except maybe that mime who got punched in the face that one time).
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.

Look, this wasn't your typical sunshine and rainbows kind of post. But sometimes, a little dark humor is the only way to swallow the bitter pill of reality. Let's remember the victims, fight for change, and maybe, just maybe, laugh a little in the face of absurdity. Because sometimes, that's all we can do.
