Here, we have a classic example of American over-eargerness. If you had simply gone with "Isn't that his girlfriend?" I would have chuckeld. But by overloading the statement with 3 (three!) question marks, you draw attention to it and make it seem too keen to please. When someone has something funny to say, they should never come across as "oooh, I've just thought of something brilliant you must hear it you will laugh!". Instead, they must pretend that they say funny stuff all the time, and that their latest joke is a throwaway comment that will be supersceded by whatever piece of wit they will say next. Only then will people appreciate you as a clever smug bastard.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Don't wait two weeks before making it, though, or everyone will have long forgotten the context of the joke and just quietly think you are a dimwitted fool.

Unlikely, when both the comment and the context are in the preceeding post. I, unfortunately, will have to take the power-up here.
