I know that, that's why I added my "grain of salt" statement :)) .

I know, and I also know that it doesn't work. I know that you can give the
biggest smile you want when saying those things, or even laugh hard after
talking, people will usually take it seriously anyway (believe me, it caused me
quite a few arguments only because of that). And in writing it's worse :)) . It
seems that this kind of humour (that I love, BTW :))) ) is usually to subtle
for most people, at least when the environment doesn't prepare them for it...
