I had no trouble understanding your funny post. It did not need a smiley. In
fact, that would have diminished it's hilarity as much as having to explain a
punchline. Some of these people are wound pretty damned tight if they couldn't
see it for what it was. They are the reason that street signs now have pictures
instead of words.

A lot of humor is based on a certain level of cultural understanding.
The smilie is so people in other cultures can get the "JOKE" as well.
