No matter how offensive or serious it is?
I sure do. I could laugh at a funeral.

there are some things I do not laugh at.
the main thing is making fun of the mentally retarded. I have 0 tolerance for that. It is cruel and mean.
otherwise I laugh at a lot.

Make a short bus joke and see if I laugh. If it is about people's disabilities or shortcomingns, no. But you can laugh your ass off at my funeral--in fact, it will be required.

I guarantee I could make you laugh at a short bus joke. Please don't think I'm an A-Hole though, it ain't like that 
I too have zero tolerance for people making fun of handicaps or disabilities. But shortcomings? Man,... jokes about people's shortcomings and foibles are the meat in my chili.

It angers me when people, in jest, use the word "retarded" to describe their or someone else's behavior. Also when they use the word "gay". Those things, and also racial slurs are not in my category of amusing subjects.

I make jokes about the blind on a regular basis.
Just kidding. Ok I don't make them. The blind folk I work with seem to make them on a regular basis. Obviously I have a good chuckle with them. I tend to shy away from making the jokes (it happens sometimes).
I find child pornography to be pretty much not amusing. Child abuse in general doesn't get a laugh.
Famine. Right out.
I, however, am always fair game, and there are always lots of opportunites to have a laugh at my expense.
