Just to be sure - this is how I mark a joke.

Dear 65GS.com community,

Humor can be the best medicine, but only when it is taken as intended.  A written medium doesn't provide for body language, so I've learned over the years that it is really important to telegraph when I'm making a joke.  This is the system I've settled on.  A joke starts with a wink emoticon.  Here is the one I use most often:

-->

The text of the joke is in a different font.  I prefer to use Comic Sans MS since it looks like the text you'll find in comics.

--> This is the text of the joke.

Finally, to mark the end of the joke, I like to use some sort of Laugh Out Loud (LOL) emoticon.  This is the one I prefer because it is "laughing" in multiple ways.

-->

I hope everyone can see these markers and recognize, that good or otherwise, I only trying to be humorous.  Can everyone see these markers?  If not perhaps I could try to come up with something else.

Cheers, Edouard
