Is it okay if I return a too-far joke with a too-far joke of my own?
Why would you go ahead and take the joke too far?
I want to be able to make everyone laugh.
That is bad for you to do. You shouldn't offend others with jokes. I think you should take people's feelings into account and just let the joke go.
Dude, when does it matter. Nobody was hurt.
If people are telling jokes that are too far and you know that they are too far, and your reaction is to tell another one that goes too far then eventually you are going to hurt someone. Why take that chance? Just be a cool person and don't try to hurt others with your words.
