That's okay, Undertoad. No one ever gets my humor, either. Just means they're of inferior intellect.

I think this is just the price you pay for having a deadpan delivery. However, you can still get a little fun out of these things. Tilt your head and look expectantly at the listener. (Think Chandler talking to Joey) Wait for the lightbulb to turn on. At least you get a chuckle out of it this way.
