Elley: Absolutely Smokey, I,m only normally sarcastic with my friends, certainly not with people I don,t know. God this woman is so intelligent.


Oscar Wilde was very sarcastic (" I have nothing to declare except my genius").

When I was passing through Stansted airport a few weeks ago, heading back to Spain, there was a massive queue at passport control. Lots of stressed out people being asked to remove shoes,belts etc and being body searched. When it came to my turn,whilst being physically searched, the chap asked me if I had anything sharp about my person I replied " Only my wit". This proved to be a great ice-breaker! He grinned as did lots of others and replied with a big friendly,cheesey grin " Absolutely essential I,d say sir". Everyone close by was suddenly more relaxed. Syou see, sarcasm is not always bad.thumbs up

Sarcasm... i would say that it is fun and kinda welcome between people that know each other or simply enjoy each other...

So, being sarcastic to a stranger can very easily be received as offensive or aggresive while if it is between (intelligent) friends can lead to a few good laughs!

Thus, i enjoy all kinds of sarcasm from people i know or like, as long as they can take a sting back wink
