Or alternatively you'll find that, unlike you, they have a sense of humour.
That is a strategy of coping, being able to laugh, even about your own
misfortune.

Do you tell racial jokes to members of racial groups mentioned in those jokes?
Do you tell blond jokes to blonds?
If I was dying of heart disease--I don't believe that I would laugh if the
joke was about a person that died as a result of heart disease.
Eventually, someone besides myself will be offended about your jokes.

Menno,
No. I only tell the following blond joke since it was printed in a
major magazine that is read by millions:
One blond is standing on one side of a creek (aka: small river) and
another blond is standing on the other side of the same creek.
One blond shouts to the other blond:
"How do I get to the other side of this creek?"
The other blond thinks for about 5 minutes and shouts back:
"You are already on the other side of this creek."
