Surely you jest sir, for the context of your statement suggests that you meant gist. Lets compare the sentence using synonyms:

jest - Other wise you got the "kidding" off what I said. So whats the problem ?

gist - Other wise you got the "meaning" off what I said. So whats the problem ?

PS - Otherwise is one word you toolbox.
