Can't Understand Sarcasm?

Well you might be suffering from dementia.

SYDNEY: Sarcasm may be the lowest form of wit, but Australian scientists are using it to diagnose dementia, according to a new study.

Researchers at the University of New South Wales, in Sydney, found that patients under the age of 65 suffering from frontotemporal dementia (FTD), the second most common form of dementia, cannot detect when someone is being sarcastic.

The authors say that the study, published in the journal Brain, helps explain why patients with the condition behave the way they do and why, they are unable to pick up their caregivers' moods.

Lol. In my experience it's people being bad at being sarcastic.

Also, Sydney, woo! Represent.

I met this sarcastic guy once. All he did was sarcasm. He was actually a very rude person :evil:

But the right amount of sarcasm thrown in here and there is comedy gold.

this thread is reminding me of that one episode of Lano and Woodley!

i love sarcasm :)

*says Nah in a very sarcastic voice* :|

I always thought puns were the lowest form of humor :\Ultima_5

Puns are can be very intelligently written and effective.
