Here's a joke that was reportedly going 'round in late 1980 and early 1981:
"What's flat as a pancake and glows in the dark? Iran after Reagan becomes president."
Yes, nuclear annhilation of an entire country is A Bad Thing and shouldn't be done, but it can be laughed about, especially when President Reagan is concerned. After all, anyone who makes that supposed gaffe of "Bombing begins in five minutes" can't be all bad. This'll be your most recent dose---meeting FDA requirements, mind you---of black and/or gallows humor.
Tip of the Wisconsin hat to Ed Moltzen at Late Final.
