Oh, my bad! The wording didn't parse as humor to me.

It happens :)

Something that would be said in person in a way that makes it obvious as a joke doesn't scan as well in text. Add in the divergent thinking so that even the text is different than what a neurotypical person would think of as a dark joke, and things can fall flat (or worse).

Keep at it though, humor is the only thing getting a lot of folks through life, even when it's dark
