This may be the funniest line I ever heard.   About 15 years ago I was at a comedy club in New York City.    As often happened in those days, a famous comedian showed up unnannounced.   In this case Eddie Murphy.    He said he was doing Carson the next day, and wanted to try out some new material.   He did about 10 minutes.

After trying out his new material, he said he really didn't have anything prepared.   He asked the audience what they wanted to talk about    A woman in the back yelled Necrophilia.   Murphy looked puzzled and said that he didn't know what Necrophilia was.   Could someone tell him.   The crowd resonded that it was screwing dead people.   Murphy responded that it was really sick and disgusting and wanted to know who said it.   The single woman in the back identified herself.   Murphy told her she was really sick to say something like that and than asked if she was at the club by herself?   He than asked where her boyfriend was.   Someone in the club answered back "he's dead".   

Funnier line than anything Murphy said all night.
