About 2 or three times a month, though, I revert vandalism with the term 'Funny, but...no.'
Because though I *do* take vandalism seriously, some of it does indeed make me giggle. From time to time ;-)

I would not encourage your doing this. Sarcasm is difficult at best, and can really hurt--and edit summaries are very visible and almost impossible to modify.

The nature of edit summaries is rightly a frequent issues at RfA--not just whether someone is using them or not.

Reverts I tend to put a slightly sarcastic summary on, especially is it's a clear bad joke. Keeps me amused... :)
