Why bother? Humor is worth it sometimes, when it is really funny, but when someone tries to be funny and isn't, it's useless at best, most often confusing, and harmful at worst.
Just because YOU didn't find it funny doesn't mean nobody will, and this joke is fairly harmless. It's mainly in saying something that's actually true in a sarcastic way that implies the opposite is being meant, when in fact it isn't.
Harmless in the individual case, but snarkiness really degrades communities over time.
