I think Abcaweenie is trying to make a very subtle point here. By venturing into humor, an area where he has little expertise, and stinking like sulfur, he is saying:

"This is what it's like when you try to speak about anything anywhere in the middle east. It is as futile, senseless, and stinky as when I, who wouldn't know comedy if it bed to death in my arms, try to make jokes."

Or perhaps I'm reading too much in. Maybe he's only saying:

"Hey, look! If you use the 'cut' and 'paste' commands, it's just like your 'cutting' and 'pasting'! These computers continue to BLOW MY MIND!"
