Of course I can. Because it's a
joke. Not intended to be in any way deliberately malicious, just, you know...a
joke.
As far as I'm concerned, there is no 'line' that cannot be crossed with jokes. Because they're exactly that...
jokes. Whether you find them funny or not is irrelevant, the fact that they're not intended to be malicious or be taken seriously means that there's no grounds for complaining, IMO.
And no, before someone mentions it, I would not care if someone joked about my child like that. I might not find it funny, but I would understand that it was a
joke and not to be taken seriously. I have an uncle with down's syndrome but I still wouldn't be offended by jokes on the subject. I might not find them funny, but I wouldn't be offended and I certainly wouldn't complain. And no - that doesn't mean I don't care for my uncle either, as I've said, it just means I know it's just a
joke...

There's a difference though, the former is intended seriously, the latter isn't
