Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I had special powers.
But every time I showed people my special powers, they all looked askance at me, as if I'm some kind of freak.
It's NOT my fault if I was born to be SARCASTIC! Why can't people understand that?
It's not my fault I seem to find irony amusing.
It's not my fault I have an affinity towards all that is ridiculous.
It's not my fault I have a wry sense of humour.
And most of all, it's not my fault my special sarcastic powers have left me without a normal sense of humour that causes people to laugh uproariously at the stupidest things which aren't even remotely funny; and they call THAT humour?
I say, save the sarcastic people, save the world!
But as I've grown older, and wiser, I have realised that not many people take to sarcasm, because of its biting and cutting quality, even though my sarcasm is more about situations and things than it is about people.
I've learn to bite my tongue to prevent all that's biting and cutting and caustic and acerbic and cynical from coming out, and to just keep it as something for my own amusement and nobody else's. And if I tell anybody, I make them first promise to not get mad at me.
If the joke is too good to not be shared, I then make sure that I'm the victim of my own sarcasm to make sure nobody gets offended by what is essentially, a funny joke.
I guess that's the way it is, genius is often misunderstood and unappreciated.
You non-sarcastic folks out there, here's a question for you. If, sarcasm is really the lowest form of wit, then please name me the higher forms of wit. Or is it really true that sarcastic people are usually the clever ones?
