You and I have different definitions of funny.

I am not a native English speaker. Here I used funny as a synonim for strange, which is probably a mistake due to me extracting most of my English knowledge from Hollywood films.
For a moment I thought you outed yourself as German, because a sentence like: “Komisch, ich hatte ein Interview mit ihnen letzte Woche.” works just fine. But we German’s have no sense of humor so I’ve heard. Also an explanation.

That's how Germans are perceived but having met Germans I know that's totally not the case.
Your use of funny was appropriate here.
