I once stumbled across a man about to jump off a bridge.
He believed that he could fly.
He was very heartbroken when I convinced him otherwise.

I am often quite cruel to myself.

Humor can be a tool, as anything else, used by Spirit if we allow so.
Look around you.
How could it be that God has no sense of it?
