Now Onto the Next Sarcastic Level

During lunch I was having a conversation with my female colleagues. They were scrutinizing other female co-workers that walked past our table.
-------
One said "She's a natural."
Another said "That one has got way too much mascara."
-------
It was to me an incredibly inane conversation.
-------
Then, without really thinking, I blurted out "Not everyone's like you, your face is like a lovely portrait."
-------
My colleague was rather pleased. She thought I gave her an incredible complement. Here's the thing. That was not a complement.
-------
And hence our lunch ended.
-------
About a hour before we were to go home. She came to my cubicle and gave me a punch in the arm and huffed away. I was a little puzzled.
-------
When I got home, I laughed out loud, because I realized she finally understood what I had said during lunch.
-------
Did you get it? No? Then protect your innocent mind. If you did, you would agree that I've reached the next level of sarcasm.
