Never mind. I find that I was feeling hurt on behalf of others, none of whom have expressed hurt at the joke. So I'll just let it drop.
I was genuinely interested in the reasons behind the joke. But I think you've explained it adequately.
I admittedly often do not understand why it's ok to say things as a joke that couldn't be said not as a joke. But I don't get Don Rickles' humor either. And lots of people do.
If no one else was hurt, I'd just as soon drop it.
