Well I liked the joke , Goat , but I'm not sure 
if it qualifies as one which couldn't possibly
offend anyone. There are people for whom
the Burns cult is a religion and the suggestion 
of pissing on Rabbie's grave would be blasphemy. 
On the poet's birthday, January 25th, they sing

>There is a star which brightly beams 
>It shines on many a clime
>It shines by night
>It shines by day
>And ne'er grows dim wi' time

>Twa hundred years have gone and mair
>Yet brighter still it gleams

>Let kings and courtiers rise and fa'
>This world has many turns
>But brightly beams 
>Abune them a'
>The star o' Rabbie Burns

>Though he was but a ploughman lad 
>And wore the hodden grey
>Auld Scotia still does mourn him yet
>Aneath his bed o' clay

>Then raise your glasses in the toast
> Immortal  Rabbie Burns !

But okay, let's admit that it may be possible to have jokes 
which are not offensive to anybody. Even so, I still think that , 
if we limited ourselves to totally inoffensive jokes, probably 
the great majority of all jokes would be considered off limits.
