This type of humor, while obvious, sometimes doesn't portray the meaning correctly. Inferred humor is sometimes more suited for this.

All The King's Men: Man As A Slave To Knowledge
... but rather, its keeper. Stark uses
information about people for blackmail, to achieve his goals. His goals for
political offices ranged from Mason County Treasurer to state governor,
senator, and most likely thoughts of presidency. And on the way to get to

... hypothesizes,
she filters the information to make it seem less extraordinary a demise.
Perhaps Mrs. Grose killed him out of jealously. The reader can infer from
this point of view that Mrs. Grose somehow also had a hand in Ms. Jessel's
death.
Mrs. Grose then proceeds, after the murders, to twist the new
governess' visions of ghosts into visions of Quint and Jessel. Solomon
does not address the issue of whether or not what the governess sees is

matters is that Mrs. Gro ...
