huh? where did you get the imagination from? it's just a saying that you say... not in your imagination... if someone doesn't get a joke or sarcasm one says "oh, sorry, I sould've switched the irony lamp on" or "next time i'm sarcastic I'll tell you beforehand...

imagine having to give your wife a valentine's card because not doing so would put you in the doghouse, and selecting one that is a total lie by pretending you're still madly and deeply in love ?
