Over-analyzing anything or a person's response can drive you into the Looney-Bin. How you perceive it and how it was delivered may be two different things. The best thing to do is to ask. If you try to make a pun, make sure you deliver it in a way it will be received accordingly. If you are not sure, ask. Clear communication, in fun or seriousness, is always the winner. :)
