The context only makes it funnier.

In the city of Galatia, cults were starting up that preached that you must keep the law (ie circumcision) and have faith in Jesus to receive salvation. Paul wrote this letter to the church in Galatia to defend what Jesus taught, and not what the cults were spreading.

So Paul is saying, "If you feel like you have to keep THAT part of the law, why don't you go all the way?!"

Hehe
