I'm not so sure that VERY, VERY obscure would even cover it sometimes.
My humor tends to be quite dry, also . . . sec . . . TRIPLE sec . . .
:)

Generally, I TRY to ascertain if something that offends me MIGHT be
said tongue-in-cheek.  I'm not always successful in determining that
accurately.  But I usually TRY to give people the benefit of the
doubt, and ask what they meant . . . oh, heck . . . I don't even do
THAT consistently.

But you have to admit: This guy REALLY went into ATTACK mode over
something that shouldn't have been THAT big a deal.

Oh, well . . . enough pontificating . . . I REALLY didn't mean to
offend anyone (except the guy begging for money).  I hope y'all can
forgive me for being so obscure . . . ;)
