Could be you're just blonde.

Nope...not even fake blonde anymore. Natural born brunette.

It's a cultural thing for me. We didn't use sarcastic humour in my family when I was growing up and sarcasm was viewed as rudeness, so when someone's cracking a joke using sarcasm, I generally percieve it to be rude.

I guess that explains why I don't get the jokes you lot make most of the time. I had no idea they were supposed to be funny.

Anecdotal evidence to be sure, but whenever I've met someone who doesn't get sarcasm and ask where they're from it is usually the midwest or Wisconsin or Minnesota. They seem to be the most sincere people I've met. And terribly nice.

I'm from the midwest and we were served sarcasm three meals a day.

Me too. Don't look at me like I'm not sarcastic. :eyebrow:

you're one of the least sarcastic people I know. or was it you're one of the most demented? anyway i think we can all agree that sarcasm and dementedness have an inverse relationship.

If the relationship is truly an inverse one, then I guess I'm not sarcastic at all!

Shawnee? Sarcastic? Never...

Me either. :)

Yeah, I think the premise is flawed. :lol:

Actually, children with Asperger's don't "get" sarcasm either. My personality is loaded with it and my son was taking me literally. It's taken years of "that was sarcastic" for him to finally understand what it was. Now he understands it, and he tries to be sarcastic, but fails miserably.

Aspy's are very interesting. I know a number of people who have Aspy kids and they run the gammet of personalities. I know they are a lot of work.
