Examples from texts

When I showed him the ridiculousness of all this, he said, 'Well, if you were one of Napoleon's pages in 1812, you might let me bury my leg in the Moscow cemetery.'
"Если ты, - говорит, когда я заметил ему все нелепости, - если ты в двенадцатом году был у Наполеона в камер-пажах, то и мне позволь похоронить ногу на Ваганьковском".

Perhaps the ridiculousness of it all, trying to keep a friendly smile on your face while putting a proper bite into your words, struck them more and more.
А может, нелепость ситуации - пытаться сохранять на лице дружескую улыбку и в то же время стараться вложить в свои слова нужную долю сарказма, - начала доходить до них.
