Trust me on this one - It's not a good time to try to be funny.
Your W is listening to everything you say with a filter. She's listening for criticism. She's trying to pick up anything she can that will let her hate you for it. She's not really hearing anything that you say, and she's not going to give you the benefit of the doubt. She's listening just enough to try to pick up something that she can hate you for, because she needs to hate your right now to rationalize her behavior.
This is why everyone advises you to choose your words carefully and keep conversations to the point.
