A clown in life, Steve Irwin has inspired more jokes since his death — not just that first one I posted last week…
[Update 23 January 2008: Since Steve Irwin jokes are very popular on this website, you might also want to start posting Heath Ledger death jokes. Just as mindlessly tacky.]
- Steve wouldn’t have died if he were wearing sunscreen, it would have protected him from harmful rays.
- Q: Why is Trudie Styler like Steve Irwin? A: Both have been penetrated by Sting.
- Steve Irwin asked for a certain song to be played at his funeral: Don’t Stand So Close to Me by Sting. (Alternatively, Dead Heart by Midnight Oil, and selections from Queen‘s Sheer Heart Attack.)
- Q: What do Steve Irwin and Indiana Jones have in common? A: They both have a hol(e)y chest.
And if I hear any more, I’ll post them here as comments.
Oddly enough, another “Australian icon” died last week: legendary racing car driver Peter Brock wrapped himself around a tree. And yet he hasn’t spawned a series of jokes. Why is that, I wonder?

[Update 19 April 2009: I’m closing comments on this post. The few comments which have been posted in recent months are mostly from people who can’t seem to see beyond an overly-simplistic “He’s a hero” or “You’re lame”. Very few of them can even spell properly. And none are adding anything positive to the discussion. Time to move on.]
