It means to be sort of serious when telling a joke and only little parts (if I may) are understood by the listener. It requires work, actually, for the listener to completely get it. It also means you're very humorous. So basicly, a "dry" sense of humor is a good thing.

What are the virtreous humor and agueous humor?
Since I found this question in the humor section the person asking is obviously someone who has earned their bones, so to speak. Since 'vitreous' has to do with objects resembling, or having the nature of glass or made from glass, I would assume that Vitreous Humor had to do with humor which was fairly transparent to the average individual. Such as knock, knock jokes, puns and riddles. Since "Aqueous" means relating to, or resembling water or made from, with, or by water, one could assume that Aqueous Humor would be a more flowing and fluid type of humor. One might even say that this type of humor is more obtuse, more mental and not quite so in your face. Thus, while it might seem an oxymoron, a dry sense of humor could be classified as Aqueous Humor, as could this answer. If you're asking a medical question, I'm sorry but I have no clue.
