Joking/Humor about our past?

Haven't posted in a while, but I try to read through the forums a few times a week. Anyways, got a question for those of us that have been sober for a while and are finding ourselves more comfortable with it: Is it bad taste to joke about being a former alky? For example, the other day at work someone made a comment about drinking too much at a social function. Without thinking I made the smart-assed comment of:

"Yeah, I tried making a career out of being an alcoholic. There's no money in it.... sponsors are hard to come by!"

Bad taste? Good humor? Discuss.
