That was the idea behind the joke:
"As someone with Asperger’s syndrome I often get accused of not behaving appropriately in social situations but I’m telling you they’re wrong. Anyway this afternoon I’m going to the funeral of a close friend, LOL!"
I'm sorry, I missed the "LOL" at the end of that joke last night, hence I didn't quite understand the joke when you told it to me (go figure) -- I do understand it now though --- yeah fortunately I do not have too many troubles with social cues like some aspie folks do ---- But, I am not totally void of those types of problems either --- The emoticon scenario is a good example -- so just take my emoticons with a grain of salt because I will probably put out the wrong one on here and tick you off --- However if you see this
emoticon then you can be pretty well assured that I am clowning around, which is about 98% of the time.
