Sorry Marieke, totaly disagree with you! Given life's ups and downs, you can either laugh or cry and laughing is by far the best bet. As I said previously, everyone does it, without offence being taken. Remember, "[I]sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never hurt me..."

Oh, YOU do not take offence! Great. But in a heterogenous group, there's bound to be mixed reactions. Sure, there will be other persons like you who would choose to enjoy the wit. But there will also be others who will choose to NOT get angry at that moment, but to get even later (as the cliche goes ). 555 Don't be surprised to find them later to be telling the same joke, but with the original storyteller's group as the target now.
