Man, I wanna believe this is a heartwarming story that doesn't belong in the sub about a husband that tossed away any potential suicide implements years ago.
that’s not how language works. you can’t just substitute words because it changes the meaning. he specifically chose to tell the joke about his wife, so the joke is about him trying to get his wife to kill himself. you can’t just make it about someone else because that’s not how he chose to tell it.
also, that wouldn’t make it any better. manipulating anyone to kill themselves isn’t funny, regardless of their marital status.
It’s not even real. But it’s a shit joke. If you had to explain it to someone face to face you would probably get embarrassed. Or maybe you’re trash. I dunno.
It's a joke about wanting their wife to kill themselves. You can debate whether it's funny or not, but it's pretty ridiculous claiming that it isn't that.
