I have one at work here. He just cant seem to keep the jokes from becoming personal. Jokes about your car, your way of work etc is all good... but when he starts talking about peoples wives, and their kids... thats another story.

What is the best idea how to handle it? In a non violent manner that is...

I'd lay down some shyt on him that'd assure he'd never come within 20 feet of me again.
Public humiliation is uber-effective.

Pretend you're in grade 3 for a second and start making 'Your mom' jokes.

Heh, better yet, replace 'mom' with 'wife, gf, bf, gay lover' etc...

make fun of him and his family, then when he gets the serious look in his face say "not so funny anymore when its about you, is it"

Tell this joke when you have the chance:

Who drank and did too many drugs through her pregnancy and fed her child lead paint chips?


Your mom.

Heh, I called a doctor at work the other day "Dr. Fattie McFat" he offered to shove a chest tube up my ass.

Since he's openly gay, I'm now frightened to return to work:shocked:

in a non-violent manner, tell him the next time he cracks a personal joke that you'd crack him a new one

I have a guy at work who loves to be honest about how he is better than everyone else. Some other guy confronted him, then the next week he was fired. GO FIGURE.
