You should know your target audience enough to know in advance that this would not be the case
Personally I'm still trying to decide whether you really did mean to infer that Al is in no position to deem a meme boring with your original post, or whether you realised that you were letting yourself down and backtracked quickly. In either case two things are true; a) it really was very clever, and b) it was too subtle for us mongs

that I would retrospectively pretend to have made a joke when I hadn't. Please be asssured of this.

I think you just called 75% of the board utterly pathetic
