 dakotayii says: It's also easy to imagine how sarcasm might be selected over time as evolutionarily crucial. Imagine two ancient humans running across the savannah with a hungry lion in pursuit. One guy says to the other, "Are we having fun yet?" and the other just looks blank and stops to figure out what in the world his pal meant by that remark. End of friendship, end of one guy's contribution to the future of the human gene pool. Fast forward a few million years and the network of human relationships is wider and more complex, and just as important to survival. The corporate chairman throws out a sarcastic remark and those who "get" it laugh, smile, and gain favor. In the same way, if the chair never makes a remark, sarcastic people are making them behind his or her back, forming a clique by their mutually negative, but funny, comments. Either way, sarcasm plays a role in making and breaking alliances and friendship. Sometimes it is lost in translation on me as it's crossing the pond. In the main I appreciate the sarcasm here as it's mainly positively funny and not negatively nasty. I lost my parahippocampal gyrus for a while. Thank God I found it!! 1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying (or building) a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time. 2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole. 3 Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize that it was your money to start with. 4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly. 5. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future. 6. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid. 7. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high. 8. S... An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution for a client who was due to be hanged for murder at midnight. His last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed. As soon as he walked through the door at home, his wife started on him about, 'What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have you been?' 'Dinner is cold and I'm not reheating it'. And on and on and on. Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he went and poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub, pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks as he dragged himself... 'They're not hanging Wright tonight,' she said. To which he whirled around and screamed,Must be that pond thing. I just don't get it. It may be a Sunday morning after the night-before thing. @ Righty:  "As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her husband, bent over naked, drying his legs and feet." The penny has dropped, just like his, says you. Ha ha Right? Ye, I was slow for once when it comes to sex. It's hard to always be on top on things! See what you have started, Dakotayii...? Forgive Me Lord for I have SIN .............. Ha ha! Funniest comments I've seen for a while. Thanks Dakotayii! |
