It was meant to be humorous. You know what humor is right? You know like "haha funny"? Don't take everything so literally even if the joke is stupid :lol:

I have a sense of humor. I just didn't see how this was funny.

And telling people on an Aspie site not to take things literally is rather futile.

I admitted that my joke was rather stupid. But you are right.
