Told a 'your momma' joke at my wife's office party in Tulsa, HR called me Monday
I thought it was a safe crowd since her boss opened with a pun about spreadsheets, but then I dropped the 'Yo momma so fat she sits around the house' line right as her coworker's mom walked in with the catering, so does anyone else have a go-to joke that needs a permanent retirement after one specific audience?

Man, that timing is brutal. The catering thing really seals it though, like the universe set you up. My go-to is now the classic "why did the chicken cross the road" because it's literally impossible to offend anyone. Used to kill at parties with a knock-knock joke about a priest, then told it at my cousin's wedding where the groom's dad was a minister. Haven't touched it since. Some jokes just need to die quietly in a corner after one bad landing.
