some people get really offended with some jokes, but would there even be a joke without ridiculing or mocking someone? If you are one of those people who get irate enough to reply with a solemn self-righteous outburst, dont you realise that you make it even funnier?

it should also go without saying that if you can't take it don't give it

Yes... it's called 'real humour'... it's the joke you tell about yourself and not at someone else's expense!

Yes. The funniest, nonoffensive joke ever isn't really a joke at all. It's more like a stern statement of irony that is nonoffensive because the offender doesn't realize that the punchline is on him/her (to be anatomically correct) because the response is so stupid that nobody bothers to even read it in its entirety in the myriad of one liners and knock-knocks that it uses to camouflage its very presence. A joke that cannot be not understood also can't be interpreted and is therefore considered nonoffensive because it is beyond the reasoning capabilities of those who should be offended to be offended and is only funny to those that can see the humor in it.... Get it? ;)

Here are two.
---------------------------------
Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones - Odds & Ends
Two doctors opened an office in a small Indiana town and put up a sign reading, "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Psychiatry and Proctology".
The town council was not too happy with that sign, so the doctors changed it to "Hysteria's and Posteriors". This was not acceptable either.
In an effort to satisfy the council, they changed the sign to "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids".
No go.
Next they tried, "Catatonics and High Colonics". Thumbs down again.
Then came "Manic-depressives and Anal retentives", still not good.
How about "Minds and Behinds?" Unacceptable again, same with,
"Analysis and Anal Cysts,"
"Nuts and Butts",
"Freaks and Cheeks",
"Loons and Moons".
Almost at their wit's end, the doctors finally came up with a business slogan that was approved by the council:
"Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds and Ends".
-------------------------------------------------------
Scripture stops burglar
An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of church services when she was startled by an intruder.
She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled,
"Stop! Acts 2:38!"
("...Repent and be baptized in the name of the Lord, so that your sins may be forgiven...")
The burglar stopped in his tracks.
The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.
As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar,
"Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you."
"Scripture?" replied the burglar,
"She said she had an ax and two 38's!"

Well, how about this; you've probably heard it; Two psychiatrists pass each other in a hallway.
One says ' Good morning ' and the other mutters to himself; ' I wonder what he meant by that? '
Are we necessarily mocking some ONE or are we laughing WITH a ' discipline ' last I heard it was called.
Humor is a wonderful thing. Let's don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Hm. I suppose I'll get in some trouble for THAT.

If someone gets upset when you tell a joke it doesn't make the joke funny, it makes the joke harrassment. I tell all sorts of jokes to all sorts of people, but if I upset someone I appolgise and ensure that I dont tell them that sort of joke again.
I think your getting your jokes mixed up with your pranks, pranks usually end up with you laughing at someone elses expense, jokes are supposed to make everyone who hears them laugh, unfortunately mine are to corny to do this.

Most of the Laffy Taffy jokes are pretty unoffensive. Kinda stupid, but unoffensive nonetheless.

Why did the elephant paint his toenails red?
So he could hide in the cherry tree.
Ever seen an elephant in a cherry tree?
Then it works.
