In this venue, I couldn't see your tongue in your cheek!

[For the benifit of those who may not be native English speakers, I simply explain that "tongue in cheek" is used to imply that a statement or other production is humorously intended and it should not be taken at face value. It's just another way of saying: "I was just kidding."]

There are probably similar expressions in many languages.

Regards,
