That's the thing about QotWI just can't spot the jokes, not because they aren't funny but just because they're so close to the 'genuine' posts.
This could just as easily be 'haha politicians claim loads of expenses', 'haha I'm referencing a news story', 'haha look at all the lies' or equally 'I spent £75,000.00 in four days but don't worry it was on expenses'.

The net result is that I don't know how to pitch my replies.(

Why not post a variety of different responses, covering all the options?Then delete the 'wrong' ones when the OP replies, explaining their rationale.

I think doing it this way is best.its sympathetic to the OP if they've tried to make a funny and makes them look even worse if they're a liar becuase my response implies that their story beggars beleif.
