Oh, come on, stop sulking!

-- You wouldn't joke about concealed weapons at an airport security
checkpoint.

-- You wouldn't make bloody diarrhea jokes during a job interview for a PR
position with the Disney Corporation.

-- You wouldn't make roach jokes while dining for the first time with the
inlaws to be.

... or you might do any of those, depending on your estimation of whether or
not they're appropriate.  What, are you crippled by a congenital deficiency
of discretion, or something?

I presume that your repetoire is not so limited that if you cull out the
bigoted stuff you're left with nothing.  If so, it must be a very sad, small
world that you live in.  [cut to close-up of tear running down cheek...
