Who Was The Jerk Who Invented Sarcasm?

Post Reply New Topic

It's easy to recognize sarcasm.
Although it requires some general knowledge of statistics (the numbers, not the field of mathematics).
If it seems to be quite improbably, it is probably sarcasm.

I can only recognise sarcasim sometimes. Depends on the situation

Usually if I don't get it,I'll just have this blank stare and someone has to explain it too me

Then I'll just feel dumb about it

But I like being sarcastic myself,I just have trouble knowing when to stop

I invented sarcasm in a former life.

I was a court jester for a mean king around 1000 BC. I invented sarcasm just so that I could insult him without him catching on, and then having me summarily executed. Eventually he caught on and I was executed.

After my execution, God told me that my invention was harmful to humanity so he no longer considered me a son, but more of an illegitimate nephew or something. Then He told me He was just being sarcastic, He likes sarcasm.

A shrink who unsuccessfully tried to treat me defined sarcasm as "biting speech."

It hit home with me and I have consciously tried to suppress my sarcasm since then, with varying results. At least I'm trying.
