God, suddenly everybody gets to set the rules for the Internet.

If you seriously think the above is an attempt to "set the rules," you
need to grow a sense of humor.

Seriously, if you're going to be namby-pamby about having every little
joke explained to you, ESPECIALLY in a thread that is nothing but
invitations for jokes in the first place, then you need to get a
life.

Pot, kettle...

You are wrong.

The guy did say he was being serious. ("Seriously, ...") I guess my powers of mind reading are weaker than yours.

I point out that Jussi is not the only poster to whine about lack of humor warnings. If the other poster hadn't been so all-fired serious then I might have been more skeptical of Jussi.

I think Jussi was not joking. Jussi?
