        It seems that almost any joke can find it's way into offending someone, whether it's a little or a lot; because the components for "Joke"usually mean that someone is surprised/duped/shocked - and someone else surprises/wins/shocks. The solution has been in front of us for millennia - Jokes which include human beings are GOING to offend someone to some degree. Given the recently invented "right not to be offended" the solution must be implemented forthwith - post haste - ex post juris nauseam - ad vomitora: All Jokes shall now be required to replace as their characters, BLOCKS OF WOOD and ROCKS. Sincerely - me.

    ...So this chunk of Mexican Ironwood and 2 chunks of Iraqi sandstone are in an Irish bar hitting on some Georgia Peachwood from a trailer park when a flake of San Francisco tiger's eye  rolls in...
be happy and make others happy.

The people the people are the rightful masters of both congresses and courts not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it.

Abraham  Lincoln
Speech in Kansas, December 1859

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Theodore Roosevelt 1907

I think if your goal is to sanitize jokes,

You are in polluted purgatory without a proper means of location.

I forgot to include some degree of misdirection as a setup element in most jokes too.  :buttkick:

I did a joke about spiders and it ended up with five pages of bickering  :idunno:

Since there are no longer any Hittites jokes about them should offend no one.   

So there were these two Hittites, Ole and Lena....
