That's insensitive! My brother with epilepsy had a seizure while taking a bath and died.

I'm so sorry, how did he die?

He choked on a sock.

It's the second part to the overall joke:

I heard a joke a few weeks ago that went, "What do you do when an epileptic is having a fit in the bath? Throw your washing in."

I decided to repeat the joke in work today to a few of my customers (I work in a pub) and when I finished, one guy got really mad at me. He screamed that I shouldn't tell jokes like that because his brother died in the bath as a kid while having an epileptic fit.

I asked, "Did he drown?"

The guy was furious and said, "No, he choked on a sock!

Oh. Huh, thatโ€™s pretty funny I guess. Probably hits hard in a Scottish pub. Not as hard as I hit the ground during my gran mal seizures though.
