As a non-German speaker I found the joke about the joke informative and humorous.

Same, I then went back to the original comment and thought "damn, that's a clever joke".

waffl is likely a German speaker. So of course not.

German speakers also can't resist replying to rhetorical questions.

> German speakers also can't resist replying to rhetorical questions.

This should have been, "German speakers also can't resist replying to rhetorical questions, can they?", should it?

There's a metajoke in here somewhere.
