I'll have to admit I've not seen the /s before (or if I did I didn't recognize it then) but from context today I rather thought it must have been an indicator of some sort of humor.
They say it ain't funny if you have to explain it. :p

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
