Anyway im gonna try and produce more of theses threads to attempt comedy...Was hoping anyone can spare some tips..

In my opinion, just don't. In the words of the great Emperor Cartagia "Humour is so subjective, don't you find?"
A bit more context...
When you write an opinion piece in character, even if you screw up, your writing can spark further discussion, can lead to you learning about some piece of lore when another character uses it to slam dunk your character's argument, can form the basis for two other characters to have an insightful discussion on the subject.
A humour piece is much harder to do properly and has a far greater chance of simply looking infantile and ridiculous when it backfires. IMHO your desire to be "funny" is a large part of what caused people to write you off as Foley and your move away from that is what caused Avio to be received a lot more kindly.

Gee, I wonder if Foley was inspired or traumatized by what happened when he stuck in Maria Daphiti's ventilation system when the nanite scrubbing occurred :D

This is seriously making me reconsider future revisits to SFRIM's bars and/or offices.

I had a chuckle at the piece.
Yes, I broke character from the expected frowning face and dour mien of a Caldari.
Now I chuckle on the inside.
