A lot of people think sarcasm is just an excuse to be an ass. There's no denying that a lot of asses practice the fine art of sarcasm, but it doesn't mean every sarcastic person should be tarred with the same brush. The world is filled with so much stupid that sometimes, sarcasm is literally the only way we can communicate. Think of it as a coping mechanism: you can say all the murderous, terrible things you want and all you have to do is account them to sarcasm so everything's dandy again. Let's be honest, it's probably played a huge part in lowering crime rates around the world. Imagine throwing a witty retort at someone with a semiautomatic handgun in their coat pocket and a history of violence: when they start losing it, all you have to say is "just kidding!" and all is well (don't quote us on that when you're dead). Like all good things, sarcasm comes with it's downsides. Some people you bump into are just so damn interesting and have endless inspirational things to say that we come to wonder if we even speak the same language at all. Sorry, we just drowned in our own giant tsunami of sarcasm we threw out there. If you're one of those who speak the tongue fluently, the problems to come will hit hard.
