"The New York City police chief said, 'We will never forget 9/11'" (joke)
Jokes about the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City's World Trade Center are numerous, although not politically correct. English stand-up comedian Jimmy Carr told this joke:
"I saw the chief of the New York City police on the news. He said, 'We will never forget 9/11.' I thought, 'I should fucking hope not, it's your phone number.'"
The joke has been cited on Twitter since September 10, 2009.

Tell you what we do,
we build a World Trade Centre.
You're sat there
with your arms crossed, thinking,
"That's gonna be a fucking big building."
We're going to have two of them.
I saw the chief of the New York City police
on the news.
He said, "We will never forget 9/11."
I thought, "I should fucking
hope not, it's your phone number."
