Telling jokes can help many people laugh, and feel better about their day. There are also people that tend to want to tell bad jokes. Here is an example of a bad joke that hurt someone’s feelings that i was a witness to.
Man- “How many wrinkles does a jack-ass have around his ass?”
Woman”-I don’t know how many?”
Man- Smile and i will count them
I am just writing about this to help everyone know to think about how sometimes jokes are not a joke. If a joke hurts someone it is not a joke.
Most people just tell good jokes, but a few people need to read this.

Yes, bad jokes can be very cruel..
If the joke hurts, it is no longer a joke. It is an insult.
Sometimes, we need to think twice before delivering a joke. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Sharon Lopez, for your feedback on this sensitive subject.
I must say that I’m guilty for putting my foot into it, trying to be funny without thinking first
As long as you learned from your past experiences it was worth it.
If it hurts someone’s feelings then it is not a joke, I think.
I agree with you nela13, 100%. Feelings can get hurt easily, so being mindful is important.
It’s annoying some people like to end with “it’s just a joke!” and they expect others to just accept it or call them petty.
If your joke hurt someone, it hurts. If you don’t wanna apologise, at least don’t rub into it.
That’s why I usually make joke about myself or with people close enough to me.
Thank you alibb for your insight about this topic.
True, and no jokes about the looks because it lowers the self-esteem.
Thank you mavic123456 for your comment.
You are so right on that….some go too far with jokes
Thank you MommyofEli for sharing your thoughts.
Auch! Now I’m a bit worried if I ever have hurts people with my bad jokes.
No, just people that know it would hurt others and do it anyway.
Ahhh… I am relieved! I have prepared several pills to deal with headaches if I feel guilty.
You are like Alex, your jokes make me laugh, so never be sorry.
Usually, I consider whether my joke will succeed in making people laugh or not, if it is likely to fail, I choose to send a prayer.
People do see humor differently. What is funny to some is offensive to others. I try to have a thick skin and hope that are not talking about me personally.
Thank you Ghostwriter for sharing your thoughts.
I agree with you. Everybody has different humor.
