Humor is OK provided that the receiving end does not feel ridiculed.
That is of course subject to cultural differences, but there are
ways make the intent clear.
In this case, I made my joke the end of a list of more serious
explanations for the observed delays. That should make clear that
the intent was to help with a smile, not to ridicule.
Finally, I would appreciate it if you refrain from munging the
Subject: line when responding to this mailing list. Do not prepend
[pfx] tags, and do not post follow-ups without Re: prefix. I don't
care what you do outside this mailing list.
