A: "Bureau of Boyfriends" is a fictitious organization within this joke that is apparently responsible for providing boyfriends to people. The joke is that the organization made a mistake ("there was a mix-up") and in reality the author himself was supposed to become the boyfriend of his daughter, rather than her biological father.

So after he thought of the joke, he told it to his daughter. In the way he phrases it, deploy = use; line = セリフ(the joke itself).

I deployed my Bureau of Boyfriends mix-up line = I used my joke about a mistake at the Bureau of Boyfriends

The second part of the sentence is a very common pattern, {something being done} to {adjective} reception. That is, the action was received in a way described by the attached adjective.

In this case, the joke he delivered was received by his daughter grudgingly (I suppose that means she didn't think it was all that funny), yet sweetly (nevertheless, she reacted in a nice way).

A: The truth is I don’t know why. I’m not exactly sure of all the grammatical terms (Australians are lucky if they know what a noun, verb and adverb are...we only find about all the rest if we study a foreign language).

The bureau issues fire weather warnings when the conditions of the weather forecast are likely to be dangerous.
