Actually, scientists are finding that the ability to detect sarcasm really is useful. For the past 20 years, researchers from linguists to psychologists to neurologists have been studying our ability to perceive snarky remarks and gaining new insights into how the mind works. Studies have shown that exposure to sarcasm enhances creative problem solving, for instance. ******** understand and use sarcasm by the time they get to kindergarten. An inability to understand sarcasm may be an early warning sign of brain disease.

I knew it.

Why do you always have to bring that up. I'm seeing a doctor for it, and he claims I still have a chance that I'll ever be able to comminicate as a normal human being. :thumbsup:

Well, if you can wipe the drool off your chin and refrain from shitting yourself to punctuate a statement you'll have a good start. Hell, you'll be head and shoulders above people like BlueBalls.

I don't get it. :dunno:
What's wrong with the drool on my chin?
And I'm not shitting myself, others do that all the time on me, so it's not my ****.
Damn all of you. :cussing:

I think there's something to be said for shitting oneself. It keeps away unwanted visitors.
