    Some people hate it, others love it, yet I am sure all will agree there is nothing like a perfectly timed and executed spark of sarcastic humor to make one spit their tea or almost choke before sniggering out loud.

    It doesn't have to be your own (it can be though). Nominate or not.

    Ill start, with one very relevant to the dearly beloved hobby of 'watch collecting'.

    @base615 gets my vote today for this gem :

    "It’s not polished, it’s just worn down through repeated acts of friction."

    (Thanks @Adri for the inspirational idea :thumbsup:)

    Another useless thread? If we do a good job here, it could be used as bad example :thumbsup:

    I’ve never liked you Eugene, your jokes about Swimming attire and hair removal products are not amusing, but I’ll join in here if I really have to, I suppose!

    An Oxford professor was lecturing his class the other day. “In English,” he said, “a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn’t a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative.”

    A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah right”!

    Works all around the globe when the wife asks if father and son can clean up the table and wash the dishes.

    Father : Nope. Son : Nope.

    Double negative remains a negative.

    To be most effective, that has to be spoken in a west of Scotland accent as "aye, right".....

    I find it pretty hard to come up with something sarcastic to say in this thread.
    Here's an attempt at it:

    "I bought my Apple Watch for its Classic Design, Old World Charm, and ease-of-use".

    A number of years ago I was talking to a friend on the phone (pre-cellphone days). I was droning on about something, when he interrupted me and said "Hey Mike, what's 7 inches long and goes limp in your hand?" Before I realized what happened, he hung up.

    Sometimes the art of sarcasm doesn’t even need to be spoken.

    There's no such thing as a useless thread. Some are just less useful than others.

    Found a tee with this print for my son back when he was about fifteen. Fit him perfectly:

    You look good when your eyes are closed, but you look the best when my eyes closed.

    I don't know, I don't like sarcasm, it is pure evil.
