alternatively if you have a history of suicide attempts, its just plain mean.

This is probably it.. It's very known that some people got worries partly subconsciously and that they deal with these thoughts consciously by joking about it... the result is that they are kinda lying to themselves.
I gotta say though... telling someone....

... to kill themselves is always mean.... regardless. They aren't just grasping what they are doing.
I suggest you tell them not to joke about suicide. Tell them that it isn't fun when someone chooses to do such an attempt. You can also say you got friends with suicidal thoughts or that have attempt suicide or similar... if I remember correctly you have a friend who once either did an attempt or was close to.. and well...you got plenty of friends on this forum who been through a lot. You aren't lying if you say any of that and it will probably not get you into that position where you have to answer endless numbers of questions.
Hang in there.

One thing doesn't exclude another. (I don't really know what the phrase is really like) Objectively...if someone did something similar but it wasn't you...wouldn't you agree on that admitting ones weaknesses is a brave act?
