I think it does just take common sense, honestly. I know which of my friends I can tell a rude joke to, and I didn't discover it through trial and error. I observed their sense of humour, the jokes they've told and the comedies they enjoy, and have concluded where to draw the line. I would tell an off-colour joke to my best friend, but I wouldn't stand up in a bar and say it without expecting backlash.
