I don't really think this kind of threads belong here, since there are too
many that do not have english as their native language.
Sarkasms and irony type of humor is not easily translated in writing.
Especially not from a foreign language.
So if your really really really have to write these kinds of messages, end
them with smiley-faces ;). ( That is, don't write them.)
