Dont gossip about people with a deliberate intention to hurt them, because that is not reallyjoking, that is not fun, that is not humorous. Sigmund Freud thinks that when you joke aboutsomebody there is every possibility that you areaggressive, that you have anger, that in a vicarious way you are pretending to be humorous but you really want to be offensive. But that cannot be decided by anybody else from the outside; only you can be the judge. If there is a deliberate effort in your mind to offendsomebody, to hurt somebody, if it is violence disguised as humor, avoid it. But if it is not violence but just a pure sense of humor, the sense of fun-the sense of not taking life seriously, not taking it too seriously, then there is no problem. Jokes can be just pure humor without any violence in them. Sometimes on the surface one may think there is some violence, but the point is not what others think, the point is what your intention is. It is a question of intention. You can smile with an intention to offend, then smiling becomes a sin.Anything can become a sin if deep down the desire is to do violence. And anything can become virtue if deep down there is a desire to create more joy in life, more laughter in life. ~
