And then one of the strangers approaches you to tell you how they also lost their child recently and gives you a lot of support resources. The joke is no longer funny and you feel like an ass.

I mean, the premise is funny, but I would never do this in fear of accidentally ruining someone's day.

I fail to see the humor in this. Perhaps because we've experienced this loss.
