But Kirby, that’s the nature of ‘sarcasm!’
You choose all the “Wrong words” specifically in order to apply an inflection.
The “wrong words,” when properly understood, are what create the humor!

By explaining the nuances or by being stolidly direct the whole scenario will
appear dull and uninteresting. Thus, by sarcastically portraying certain events,
the general situation will appear far more interesting/comical.

Sorry, i have to stick to my guns here.  A very probable situation was
described and a very realistic interaction took place between the two
parties involved.  Was he being sarcastic?  If so, fine; I must've missed
it.  The only indication I have that he wasn't serious was a later post.
Maybe he simply over-exaggerated?

I won't even answer your question.  The fact is: people should not judge me
on the mere facts I posted in my story.  If you don't think I was sarcastic,
that's your opinion, but nobody should have attacked me.  Like I said, if
you don't like my post, ignore it.
