3. You have to tell people when you’re being serious, because they’re so used to you making jokes.

4. And since your default is sarcasm, you have a hard time turning it off when others need you to.

8. And even when you do get excited, you still express it with sarcasm, which confuses everyone just the same.

9. Saying something sarcastic makes you feel better immediately afterward, even if the person you’re talking to doesn’t get it.

19. When you meet someone who isn’t sarcastic, it kind of feels like talking to a baby.

20. Sometimes you worry that you’re the only one who thinks you’re funny…

MY LIFE: What Year Is It?

This is from me, and NOT some reprinted material. - OlderMusicGeek

“What year is it?”

I look at the young man who walked up to me in the convenience store parking lot.

I almost haltingly come out and say 2010. But then I think he couldn't mean that, could he?

I look at the guy. He doesn't look like a crazed maniac who thinks he's in a Terminator movie.


So I think about it some more.

Is he mocking me? Do I look like I'm stuck in the past. Admittedly, I have long hair, but my outfit is hardly that of a hippie.


I look at the young man again. And that is when I realized that he is looking at the car!

“Oh! It's 1999!”


Funny enough, when I told my ex-wife this story, she said, “Imagine if you had told him 2010.”

“2010! No way!”

“Uh, yeah, sorry it is! We got a black president and everything!”

“What's Obama got to do with anything? It's definitely the late '90's!”

“I'm sorry, but you're over ten years late. I know what year it is!”

“I'm sorry, sir, but I don't think you do!”

And then I can imagine him walking away grumbling about the guy who thinks his old car is brand new.

I read and watch too much science fiction!
