If you want to make a clear point, don't let things get personal. Now, this point is about expressing ideas clearly. Posting for entertainment value is different. I can't give much advice on posting for entertainment value. I'm just not qualified. When I do clown skits and magic shows for birthday parties, the kids all cry and run away screaming! (<--- See what I mean. This isn't funny at all.)Posting rationally... This deserves special attention. When a post does not follow this rule it becomes dangerously trollish. Posting about an emotional subject, even in a rational way, is also an area to be explored with extreme caution.
BTW: I did find your joke amusing, but I do have a sarcastic and slightly morbid sense of humor. :P
