Like dry humour? Sounds like a lie! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pawky

'like dry humour?' is the definition.
(pawky means having a cynical sense of humour)

'sounds like a lie' is the wordplay.
'sounds like' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'a lie' becomes 'porky' (rhyming slang - porky pie).
'porky' is a homophone of 'PAWKY'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
