Yes, there are plenty of jokes which are inoffensive. Here's three
(possibly old ones)

1) A woman dreamt she was talking to God when He sneezed.
She didn't know what to say to that. (I didn't get it until
I thought of the usual response to a sneeze: God bless you?)

2) Two crazy people are talking to each other. One asks "Are you
a Giant fan?" The other replies "No, I'm an airconditioner".

3) It's been discovered that you can get a disease from kissing birds
called Chirpes. But don't worry, it's tweetable.

I'll add that I wondered the same thing you did once. All three of the
examples I gave I heard from women. Is there a correlation? I don't
know although I suspect there is.
