A joke is only a joke till a certain point. Taking even just one step farther could change the mood drastically. With that moment ruined it could also ruin their thought of you. There's no need for the nudge off the deep end. If at that point they still talk to you, they might even have a grudge against you for the rest of the time they know you. Pull it back, and take a breath. If you don't, i might have to stab you.
