There is not a hard and fast rule for handling a situation where one jokes about you. There are however some tips which work really well in such situation. These tips are:
People make fun of other because they want to make them embarrassed or hurt them. This can be avoided if you totally ignore the joke and take it as a normal conversation. Reacting to a joke or defending yourself makes the joke more intensified. Keep the conversation go on.
Many people joke back in response to a joke made by them by someone else. The style of the response is such that it puts the other person in the situation he/she wanted you to be in.
However you need to be tricky. Joke in a smart way and in such a style that the joke puts at an advantage over the other person. This will teach him/her a lesson and will make him/her realize that he/she instead of you has been fool.
Receive the joke and don't make any defensive reaction. This shows how confident you are about yourself and how happily you take a joke meant to hurt you but in actual it didn't have any effect on you.
For suppose if you are asked by some one that you do not go out a lot, you can simply answer by saying yes, in fact this is the first time during the whole year that I have come outing. This will prove to the person that you are very much confident with whatever you do.
Jokes, many times, have meaning other than the apparent one. Sometimes it is felt quite clearly that the person making the joke has some issue with you or has got hurt. In such a scenario you better try to find the actual meaning of the joke instead of focusing on the apparent meaning.
Handling jokes in a smart way is a skill many people want to have but very few actually demonstrate. This skill shows your ability to respond to people in a good way and you also don't get hurt.
