Not sure if you're saying there is not much hope for me because of what I last posted or your last sentence is about a person, not necessarily me, that would react negatively to hearing someone say to them 'Have a nice day'.
I am by nature a kidder, teaser and joker but rereading what I first posted on the joke I saw how it might offend someone who perhaps recently lost a love one who died of a heart attack. i'm personally not offended by this joke nor was I by the one about the former Marine cold cocking his college professor.
When joking, kidding and teasing it is important that you know your audience and how it might or likely is to be received by them. Every now and then someone will get offended even though there was no intent of your doing so.
I think getting a read on your audience is difficult to do on forums like this one. I like that there is here on WMT a separate Joke Forum. Enter with the knowledge that you risk being offended and if you happen to be offended by the joke trust that that was not the intent of the poster - that's what I think.
