When making a joke, one needs to be mindful about many things, including what the joke is about and the timing. Just like an insulting joke, an untimely one might have a short or long-term negative effect on the joke’s victim. As an example, frankly, quite a bizarre one, we can take today’s story – a man got nearly arrested after his future stepdaughter joked about not knowing who he was. And, well, that didn’t sit right with him.
