Your Too Funny is Showing

The subject matter of our work correspondence was dry as toast, so the creative writer in me usually had to add some butter.
"Your Too Funny!" she would reply.
The first time she said so, I responded right back: "I don't think I have a 'too funny' — But what about it?"
The "Bless Your Heart" was implied.
She didn't get it.
Explaining that kind of joke one time is too many, especially if it's met with a blank stare. So for the sake of employee relations, from then on I kept my thoughts to myself whenever she would write about my too funny.
But it drove me nuts, because she never finished her sentence. My too funny what? In my head, I'd try out verbs in an attempt to fill in the blanks...
My Too Funny and your Too Funny were sittin' by the fire.
No...
My too funny gets 35mpg out of a joke.
No...
My too funny plays well with others.
No...
The problem, of course, was that I didn't know what kind of person, place or thing a "too funny" was. Then I realized that it's an idea: A "too funny" is an unfortunate grammatical error that someone doesn't know they've made. Like the photo above. Now it's easy to complete the sentence:
Dude, your too funny is showing.
That too funny is too funny! BTW, if I were looking for someone to permanently ink something on my body, I'd for sure want to go to a guy who can't spell.

I'm amused by you're geeky sense of humor. (I know you are, but what am I?)
