Today I am a comedian

In bilingual environments, I have English days and French days. On English days, strangers with no external cues speak to me in English. On French days, strangers with no external cues speak to me in French.

Today I seem to be having a third kind of day. Today I am having a comedian day. Everything I say with even the slightest element of humour gets a laugh. And by humour, I don't mean that I was telling a joke. I mean that there was some element of understatement or irony or some other literary device in my statment, and it would get a laugh. I have no idea why, but that happened all day today.

Edited to add the relevant Python.
