Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, certain jokes or comments are not suitable for everyone to hear. When we tell jokes that are rude, offensive, or overly personal, it's better to say them only in private. Imagine you tell a very funny but inappropriate joke to your family at home where everyone understands you and won't get upset. However, saying the same joke at work or in public could offend someone or make others uncomfortable. To avoid hurting people's feelings or getting into trouble, it's best to save those kinds of jokes for close friends or family members who know you well and won’t misinterpret your intentions. This way, you can have fun without causing any problems for yourself or others.
