we've of course given up on helping you understand certain key linguistic principles. but if nothing else, can you see that your dogmatic and misled statements might sometimes get in the way of your jokes being understood as jokes. because i really don't know if you're serious about this. if i could chuckle confidently, i would.

you've really deflated every future absurd joke you might possibly make.
