Now, isn't that being mean to the, er, mentally impaired? Two drunks walk into the bar...
I like to leave the abusive jokes to those of the particular persuasion being abused. Blondes can tell blonde jokes, Norwegians can tell the Norske jokes, and so forth. For this reason I seldom repeat the "stupid men" jokes, although I read them and laugh.
Of course more sophisticated jokes are specially tailored to the characteristics of the particular population being abused. We were watching a bug's life last night and the walkingstick comedian sez: How many cockroaches does it take to change a lightbulb? No one knows, as soon as the light goes on they scatter!

What next? "Two vampires with chips walked into a bar"?
Are you deliberately persecuting me?
