What I Dislike, #1?

I dislike having to explain my jokes and say "I wasn't serious," especially since it was my intention to be subtle all along. It is not half as humorous when the joker needs to state that he was joking; but to be misunderstood - this is far worse.

And it was not until the last year or two I learned that my "ironic humor," which is what I called it for lack of a name and what others may call "sarcasm," has this funny phrase that people use to describe it: "tongue-in-cheek."

It's quite unfortunate that the dead are not here to say they were joking.
