What could you not make jokes about?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

I occasionally overstep the line because I have an extremely dry sense of humour, but even I can't make jokes about abortion, rape and the Holocaust (unlike Woody Allen, although it's different for him, as he is actually Jewish), but that's about it. No doubt some of you will suggest a subject and I'll think yeah, I couldn't joke about that. What can't you make jokes about?

1. Nothing

There is nothing so vulgar or tasteless that I can't joke about it.

I dislike racist jokes and only use them if I have enough in stock to offend all races in attendance.

2. dead animals, rape, child abuse

suicide, and roadkill -- except for this one:

3. child abuse

Any form of malice towards children - starvation, molestation, homelessness, murder, etc.

4. I think your limits are about the same as mine

Death from natural causes is one of my favorite joking points: Naples, FL: Where the North Goes to Die!

On the other hand, I can make Hitler jokes, but none about the Holocaust itself, and Dresden/Hiroshima/Nagasaki is a rarity.
