    I am astounded at how easily you are flummoxed. Life must be a constant struggle for you. I’m glad you found a way to respond to a remark that was not made to you, nor about you, and that you did so with such aplomb. If I wore a hat, I would tip it.

    Now, as an exercise, go and read it the way I did and tell me, honestly, knowing that the internet is full of barely coherent attempts at humour, could you, in any way, despite your mind bogglingly deep knowledge into the art forms of comics and memes, have read it the wrong way around and, for just a moment, a tiny moment, the tiniest of moments, have thought the joke made no sense? And now, look at the comment I replied to, and see if you can see the subtle context in which my reply was made. Well done, maybe you just learned something new today.
