"It's raining cats and dogs!" I'm pretty sure that at one time or another in our lives we've either heard or recited that phrase. Sarcasm plays a large role in each of our lives, yet there's not a lot of ways to truly see it. Especially with the internet now days. Everyone keeps saying that we need a sarcasm font. I firmly believe that there already is one...it's the one I'm using now, the one you used in your last email, and the one that your friend used in that text message your just received. Everything can be sarcastic, but what makes it sarcastic is the body language and emphasis on the right words at the right times. Yet we still have trouble recognizing it! It's not that we're dumb. We're all smart...just, in our own ways. I think that the problem is that we are all way too serious anymore. The world has driven us to be so competitive and stoic that we've lost a lot of our humor. The people that have managed to keep their cool and crack jokes surely make me smile. We definitely need more of them around.
