It is customary to indicate jokes that are not readily obvious (as
is this one...) with a ":-)"  (symbolic for 'tounge in cheek')   It's
sometimes very difficult to tell when someone is serious and when 
he/she is being sarcastic.  When I'm standing face to face with
someone, It's sometimes easy to tell (a facial expression, tone of
voice, etc.) but when reading a net.message,  we have only the text 
of the "joke".  Don't trust your net.audience to be able to read your
mind.
