Things You'll Need
Instructions
Assess the group of people you're telling jokes to and try to gauge who might be offended by what.
Tell any jokes that seem appropriate for the group at hand, avoiding racial, ethnic, sexual or other types of humor that may make certain audience members uncomfortable.
Be extra careful when telling jokes around strangers or casual acquaintances. Old friends will forgive minor offenses, but an inappropriate comment may prevent others from becoming your friend in the first place.
Be extremely careful when joking with potential clients or business partners. In this type of situation, it's often best to remain professional and keep the humor at a minimum.
