Understanding when something is actually a joke – is often done by verbal phrasing, pitch, tone, cadence and rhythm, along with facial features and body language,
badda bing, badda do, doobe do be do. nonsense syllables works
Even just keyphrases and titles – say Jabberwocky in a room and everyone goes to Alice and white rabbits, the original books or the Disneyfied version, or Tim Burton’s Versions

Freedom of religion is for participants to have it for themselves and not be inferred with at their homes or place of worship in community.
It is not an entitlement to push your religion into public law and enforce your religion’s values as public norms.
