One of our three chats d'origine francais proudly brought in a large dead rat to the bedroom a few nights ago and was roundly congratulated. I daresay the rat was less happy with the situation. Exactly! What does that say about us? I had rats as pets when living in London!! People and their take on life is the problem, as I have found here!!!

In its true form, as quoted by Oscar Wilde. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but the highest form of intelligence. This would seem to count you out then. 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 There is more actually. Sarcasm being a form of wit is to make a someone aware of their own lack of knowledge or understanding on a given subject. Of course a certain level of intelligence is required to understand this and it is why sarcasm usually descends into acrimony!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
