I can understand why people feel upset about some of the requests for determination.
I can also understand why in general it is inappropriate to joke about death.
But... Humour in the face of struggle can be really useful.
I think Lou is trying to understand the civility rules the best he can.
One of the hardest things to get is context.
How something can be fine in one context and not so fine in another.
Maybe 'joking about death' is one of those.I think Lou is trying to understand
And that he doesn't mean to hurt
But he has a hard time understandingIt is hard...
For everyone
