    I'm sorry....

    A hard-working man who turned both a well-known company and his own physical condition around, died of a sudden, surprise heart attack.

    Enlighten me on the humor here?

      Methinks someone was looking beyond the news print to... well... a certain irony....

      .....and yes; it's quite easy to see how, say Leno might report on this.....

        You're the first person today not to at least chuckle about it.

          Since my father has had both a heart attack and a quadruple bypass, this struck too close to home for me to consider it funny. I did however find it extremely ironic.

            Irony is not always funny, often times it is tragic..but that doesn't take the ironic factor away from it. Perhaps the biggest irony is that he died soon after approving the decision to remove the "super size" menu items from the menu =/ Some compassion might not hurt

              re: irony... true. Irony does not necessarily equal 'funny'.

              However, the only word Noish used was 'joke'. Hence, leading me to believe he intended humor, not irony.

              I do see irony. Just, a very sad sort.

                Put me down as the second. Though I did get the joke, I didn't find it funny at all.
