No, I don't think Pratchett did, and I don't think that you did either. It's just that the particular quote reminded me (in painful detail) of a "joke" that someone posted here at MR a few days ago .... that was about tying a cat/kitten in a bag with a brick and drowning it.
I didn't think that joke was funny then .... and I still don't. And .... that quote just reminded me that what some people find hysterically funny (such as drowning a cat), I do not.
As I recall, when I encountered that scene in Mort, it made me cry. It's one of the reasons I love the character of Death. The same sorts of things that piss him off piss me off too.
