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.

I don't think so.

The guy did say he was being serious. ("Seriously, ...")

Countless stand-up comedians begin jokes that way.

I guess my
powers of mind reading are weaker than yours.

It doesn't take psychic powers to see the patently obvious, just a
working sense of humor. Especially, as you said, in a thread that is
nothing but an invitation for jokes in the first place.
