Norcal getting bored over there and deciding to get a 'Jersey Triad' tattoo from some random Arab, only for the needle which he got the tattoo with to be used and catching aids from it and dying that way would be just as humorous as Milenko dying from food poisoning, wouldn't it?
We can all think of silly ways for people to die here. It's known that Sly is a P.E. Teacher... there are a million jokes you could come up with which would lead to his demise, but no one does it. It happens with Milenko only because he's an idiot and in the military, where something bad is more likely to happen to him, which is why the joke works. JGlass, to be fair, is admitting that it's distasteful, but I don't think it's fair to catechize those who don't think it's the least bit funny and feel offended by it.
And Sly's comparison is extreme, but it's still a comparison. Sometimes you have to think of something extreme to get your point across. Nothing wrong with that.
