How do you manage it in social gatherings? Often times people think it's a little strange or get uncomfortable....i also laugh when it's inappropriate which makes things awkward. I'm kind of goofy and like to joke but my jokes are dark. for example; A woman goes to the abortion clinic and the aborted fetus comes out alive. She grabs it by it's feet and fetusslapped the doctor and says "Die, die, die!!".
Or: Man says to woman: That sweet painting of yours remind me of my parents
Woman: Oh that's nice
Men: They're dead.
Woman: Hahahahahaaa

You should get hold of one of the cartoon books by Charles Addams. He drew cartoons for the New Yorker a generation or so ago. They were pretty edgy, but funny as hell. There's a legend that when he would send in a certain particularly gruesome drawing, the editors knew it was time to call his psychiatrist and have him send the guys with the strait jacket.

Just a couple I can recall from that era: The explorer and his wife have set up camp in the deep, dark jungle. While she's sitting in a folding chair reading a book, a huge boa constrictor with a bulge in its middle slithers by. Irritated, she snaps, "Speak up, George! Stop mumbling!"

And the other: A middle-aged woman is running along the beach, among the shells and starfish. You can see the shadow of a gigantic bird just ahead of her, with prey in its mouth. She yells up, "The keys, George! Drop the keys!"

Poor George ... Anyway, you might get a better idea of what dark humor is acceptable, and what isn't, in various social situations.

Yea, I do too. I think you have to have cynical humor or (Gallows humor) to keep from losing your mind.

Like just look at the economy, and all you can do is laugh...

Yes, but I know when it's appropriate to use it and when it's not. It sounds like you have a hard time making sense of that.

I do have dark sense of humor but ur jokes are lame. I will risk getting reported but here is one I like

you know whats worse than 12 babies being nailed to 12 trees?

one baby being nailed to 12 trees.

Very sick and disgusting yet tells the truth :)

problem for you is that you need to know audience sense of humor, and when they might have dark sense of humor.
