    I mean as a general rule of thumb like "French men are sexual deviants"


    Because I come out with gold and no one seems to understand/notice/care


    And it bums me out guys, I mean i'm super tempted to break out the beanbags and incense if this keeps going on.


    Antoinne seems to, but we're both French (?) so I can dig yo, much like I dug the grave I buried last nights hooker in.

    :eek: Of course I don't.

    But that would mean Americans do get sarcasm if Antoine does.

    Do Brazilians get sarcasm?

    Are all Brits arrogant? :D

    My husband's a pro at dishing out sarcasm, and I've picked up being a sarcastic little tart from him, although many times, people aren't sure whether I'm being sarcastic or serious. So, I don't think it's an American thing, I think some people are just more accustomed to it than others. [​IMG]

    I love sarcasm... I like almost all kinds of humor... Sarcasm, black humor (as in poking fun of dark issues like death, not racist humor, haha), satire... You name it! Except for knock knock jokes... Only one makes me laugh:

    Knock Knock

    Who's there?

    The interupting cow!

    The inter-
    (interupting) MOOOOO!!!


    Very funny, if you get the timing correct (which of course, is impossible when on the internet).

    sarcasm is god's gift to the world. i don't think too many people know how to use it or really get what it is, though. which really makes it all that more great. :D

    I used to be sarcastic, but then I upgraded to better forms of humour. Sarcasm is just too easy.

    I am now Pavel version 1.03.

    That's a great joke :)

    i dont know what brought about this thread (i dont read half the threads anymore..) but usually I get your humor Hugh. But that might be cause I know you well enough to know..
    Sarcasm isnt always easy to convey in type. Maybe? I dont know.

    Sarcasm is for people who kill people for fun.
