What is you sarcasm quotient?

Read everywhere how Amar Singh is pissed of at SRK for picking on him at some award ceremony. Personally I saw the function in bits & pieces & I thought SRK was as witty as he always is & whoever he picked on was all in good humor. But hey that’s just me & I have a dark humor side as well. Just the other day I was in a conference at Suzuki & the speaker called me “sophisticated”. I replied,” of all the names that people have called me, this hurt me the most!” He thought it was witty & he also said that anybody who can laugh at himself has it easy in this world. Later I thought more over his words & thought how true it was. People in general hate sarcasm because it’s not so sugary sweet, well folks so isn’t life. I will be wrong however to generalize this comment, I have met so many people who had this sarcastic sense of humor & they cracked me up.

Just day before yesterday, Sanjay told me Ganguly was playing good but was batting slowly, I asked him,” does he know it’s one day & not a test match?” well I am a mean person when it comes to humor, but this post doesn’t have to be all about me. I would like to use this as an open thread activity, for you all to quote your best sarcastic comments till this date! Any mockery is most welcome!

it was probably one of the funniest one i've heard... :-) its just the way things were said....

coming to sarcastic comments in general... I do like brutal honesty over hypocritical politeness... I think :-)
I like it when ppl say stuff so that maybe one can improve oneself... there maybe some part of us that we can improve but are just not looking at it...

however when the comment is intended to hurt/downgrade someone then I don't appreciate it.... its all about the intention.... if the intention is good then I don't mind if the words come out even in the harshest form....

See I think that there is a big difference in being honest/frank and sarcastic. You could be honest about everything without putting on ur choga of nasty sarcasm. A bigger problem is that when you start being sarcastic, you do it without discretion ..even if it is belittling someone!
Waise SRK is a master of it and he suCKS anyways!!
