Unfortunately, it's also somewhat easy to make these kinds of things up when you're as knowledgeable as yourself. Yours was better than most attempts at satire and therefore could be taken serious. It sounded sincere, and satire never goes over understood well in some cultures. The British get it, though. That IS their kind of humor.
Real funny satire is where I think enough clues are left to show the person writing (speaking) is sometimes truly daft where otherwise it sounds okay overall. Then the clever gems have to be picked out at another reading to dig for them.
