What's funny to me is that guys here can't tell when someone is messing around (especially Europeans). I'm wondering how easy it must be for the girls to pull one past you.
I think it's probably a product of how much time we spend here. Since I'm often in front of, or at least near, a computer in my "normal" life, I'm on this board like every day. I understand members' personalities more than a guy who's a more casual reader or is a regular, but just not as addicted as I am. I know, for instance, that you (mechanico) hasn't sucked no 75 dicks, but would definitely joke about it given the chance.
That said, there are also cultural differences. I sometimes forget that we're a pretty diverse bunch, not just in terms of nationality, but style and upbringing. I'm a clown by nature. In fact, you see that in my game. Some guys are just wired differently.
All told, it was a dumb joke, since it created a mini security scare. Not every joke can be a winner.
