Sometimes, my sarcastic humour is so dry and subtle that people who don’t know me very well think I’m being serious. I try to say things that are so ridiculous they can only be taken as a joke, but it doesn’t always work. Example:
Yesterday, Jairus made pulled pork sandwiches (took him 8 hours!) that smelled soooo good they made me hungry, even though I had just eaten a huge dinner. As we were watching A Jihad For Love (about the coexistence of homosexuality and Islam), Jesse said, “Too bad these Muslims wouldn’t be able to enjoy this delicious pulled pork sandwich”. I said, “Oh, cause it’s pulled”, in a tone like I had just realized something, but what I thought was a joking manner. Everyone turned their heads at me, Ian said, “Cause it’s pork, yeah”, and he lingered on that yeah really slowly, like he was embarrassed for me, then everyone turned back to the TV. I’m pretty sure they all think I’m an idiot now, and that I thought Muslims have something against animals when they’re slow-cooked in vinegar sauce.
Hey, I can understand the joke (absurdity), but only because everybody knows the real answer. I told you before, dry humour is your trade mark.
Absurdity is the perfect word. I think I’m influenced in that type of humour by Stephen Chow and mo lei tau. That’s funny, I never thought I had a trademark!

I totally hear your voice in my head saying those things…hilarious. I guess the joke is on whoever doesn’t get it, as long as someone else does get it, and you’re not the only one!
