that sounds like a measure of how inoffensive a joke is

Not really
if it's offensive, it also has to be very, very good. If you're going to go face-to-face with the object of your joke, then either make it so good they'll laugh with you, or offending them is your aim.
I have jokes about politicians, these jokes are deeply offensive, I'd love to tell them to them in person. I have been the butt of many jokes in an audience but if the comedian is good and the routine/joke is well written it'll make me laugh.

I'd never tell a joke I knew was going to offend someone, we should be considerate about the feelings of others and not be exclusionary in our language against a particular group or minority
except for albanians, who are lower than dogs
