You and I have different definitions of funny.


I am not a native English speaker. Here I used funny as a synonim for strange, which is probably a mistake due to me extracting most of my English knowledge from Hollywood films.


For a moment I thought you outed yourself as German, because a sentence like: “Komisch, ich hatte ein Interview mit ihnen letzte Woche.” works just fine. But we German’s have no sense of humor so I’ve heard. Also an explanation.


>But we German’s have no sense of humor so I’ve heard.

That's how Germans are perceived but having met Germans I know that's totally not the case.


Your use of funny was appropriate here.


Your use of sarcasm is spot on though
