As I understand it, the original tape of the Philharmonia Orchestra's
classic recording of the Brahms Requiem contains, very, very softly,
the punchline of a West Virginia joke as told to Elisabeth Schwarzkopf
by Otto Klemperer immediately before her entry in "Ihr nun habt
Traurigkeit". You do need to have an extremely expensive pair of noise cancelling headphones to hear it, and I will happily tell the three
West Virginia jokes I know over the phone for anybody who is
interested, for a moderate fee, although it has to be said that I do
not resemble Mme Schwarzkopf either physically or vocally to any great extent.
Meanwhile, for persons interested in the fine details of a classical recording but with limited funds at their disposal, headphones are
warmly to be recommended.

How do you know the toothbrush was invented in West Virginia?
Because it's called the toothbrush and not the teethbrush.

I's say that making fun of people who are voluntary members of a group is a little different than making fun of people based on ethnicity, race, religion, etc. There is a list of 100 economist jokes, many of which only economists would even get. Re:your mother in law, one case proves nothing and I don't know the nature of the jokes, so I can't comment.

A composer, a performer, and a critic have a concert in a French
speaking country. Sadly, the music doesn’t meet with favor - and all
three miscreants are sentenced to death - by guillotine!
The composer is put into the device — the rope is cut — the blade goes whistling down — and stops one foot short of the composer’s neck! A miracle! Cries the crowd, and they set him loose to create his Opus 2.
Next, the performer is placed into the guillotine — the rope is cut —
the blade goes whistling down — and again stops one foot short of his
neck! Encore a miracle! Cries the crowd, they cheer him for taking the repeat - and set him free.
Then it is the critic’s turn for the guillotine. They tie him down — about to cut the rope — when he cries out “Wait a minute - I see the problem!”
