ByEmily Rella•
A Subway location down south is going viral for posting a sign of a joke that did not go over well.
A man named Timothy Mauck snapped a photo ahead of the holiday weekend of a sign at a Rincon, Georgia, Subway location with a not-so-tasteful pun referring to last month's Titan submersible tragedy that left five people dead.
"Our subs don't implode," the signage said.

"That's just wrong," one person said bluntly.
"Bet if that was their family they wouldn't think it's so funny," another wrote, referring to the victims.
Subway confirmed that someone at the restaurant had put up the sign and that it was, in fact, a real photo.
"We have been in contact with the franchise about this matter and made it clear that this kind of comment has no place in our business," a Subway spokesperson toldTODAYin a statement. "The sign has since been removed."
