But very well, here goes:
You have a great sense of humor is a common saying
However, I did not accuse you of having a great sense of humor, though no one knows it until the last syllable of #22: it takes a little turn, you see, and fails to say what was expected, rather aptly, I thought
Oh, dear. After explaining it, I find it less amusing, of course, just as I had feared
Well, I see we do not share the same sense of humor, so I guess I will not quit my day job for a career as a stand-up comic

All that reading you do, and you can't tell the difference between 11 and 22? |

The briefer explanation seemed preferable to a longer one, but perhaps I over-condensed. |
