Julie,
I understand you were trying to make a joke.................
but only after reading your second post. There was nothing in your first post to signify it was a joke and this is the reason it was taking the wrong way originally. We all joke around on here at times but we make sure people know that in our posts in some way so that people don't take things the wrong way. There are 6000+ people on this forum which means there's also 6000+ different points of view which translates into a lot of chances for things to be taken the wrong way.
P.S. My intention isn't to single you out, and I was going to PM you but I decided to post this as a reminder for everyone. If you're going to post a joke try looking at it from a different angle or point of view before you post it and see if there's a possibility it could be taken differently from what your intention was. Also make sure we can tell it was intended as a joke from the start.
