How is it humorous? When he writes in the end of the post, this post is in jest, it can only translate to 'I didn't mean it.' because it is not funny at all.

If say a random thing to you, and then write this post is in jest, it won't translate to any thing. It basically is just a post which was not intended. Why should such a post be accepted in the forum then when it, from the post writer himself, it was not intended. It is not as if the post makes any sense. It doesn't have an ironical style or content to say some of Marc's posts.
