^ I want to say yes. They can express anger and happiness, so why not sarcasm. Remember I lot of sign language is also facial expressions, so a sarcastic look coupled with signing should convey the desired emotion.

Sign language is very comprehensive as an alternative to spoken languages.

Sarcasm is fairly basic as far as meanings go, so I don't see why not?

Yeah I just couldn't work out how you could convey sarcasm through signing. I wasn't thinking about the full picture of body language and facial expressions.

I can see the error of my ways now.

What type of bowling? Ten pin?

Bowling isn't exactly the most exciting thing for a lot of people, I don't think.

Me neither. I've only tried 5-pin, but I don't imagine more pins and bigger balls will change anything.

I know they spray the shoes after each use, but what about the balls themselves? Imagine how many dirty fingers have been in those balls. People that pick their nose, lick their fingers, don’t wash them after going to the bathroom, greasy from food etc

My busted hot water heater is on my mind right now. This whole no hot water thing is already old and it is only day two. I have no idea how I'll get this thing fixed with my no money having self. This could be a comedy gold kind of winter if I can manage to not be irate about it all.

Just don't smell your fingers afterwards, even if you are curious.

What should I do if I cut my finger with an exacto knife? I put it in my mouth and then got a bandaid on it right away, but now I'm wondering if it will get infected since I put it in my mouth first. It felt deep but it isn't bleeding through the bandaid, and ice is taking away the pain, so it might not be as deep as it seemed

You should moisturize your finger.

It has since started bleeding through the bandaid, so I put another one on it and I'm elevating it

What would I use to moisturize it? I'm not sure if that will do much while it's bleeding

I think it's because he's an old and dopey rescue cat.
