Well in that perspective we all are and none of us are then.
I reserve the word victim for someone who has it worse than most people.
For example: I had bad things happen to me(who hasn't) and life wasn't fair in some important aspects, but I don't consider myself a victim - even though I did wallow in self-pity for a year in high school thinking I was one.

That's easy to explain: a) we hate that which causes us pain (I think that's actually pretty rational!) b) humour: never let facts get in the way of a joke, especially when the object of the joke is subject to clause a)


Ok, if b is the case, then maybe I have seen this joke too much - quite possible.
