Social Text, Sokal--A Modest Question

[Paul L. Maliszewski]

Much of the talk I've heard about the Sokal article identifies it as a
parody or a satire, which terms mean of course two different things, but
the consensus seems to be that in some way it employed irony.  Which makes
me want to ask a pretty simple question:  Did anyone find it funny?  I'm
willing to accept that it's not laugh-out-loud funny, but is it even
amusing?  I kinda have been operating under the assumption that irony is
supposed to be a little funny.  Would someone mind quoting me the really 
good parts?

I wanted to laugh.  Really.
