Sense Of Humor??

Sense of humor. Naturally, we all have one and each is a little different from one to the next. Not everyone is going to find the same thing funny, and not everyone is going to respond to a joke the same way. What is funny to some, is offensive to another. This is usually determined by upbringing, beliefs, morals, etc. Mostly, people with similar senses of humor tend to stick together, the whole "birds of a feather" stigma.

I happen to have a rather sarcastic, dry, and I hope witty sense of humor. Because of this, I tend to be misunderstood often by people who don't share this sense of humor. Sometimes I'm just looking for the guilty pleasures of sarcastic and witty banter, but this is misinterpreted as condescending insinuations, evidence of a superiority complex and even malicious name calling, the third to a lesser degree, usually malicious name calling goes hand in hand with some rather colourful language :)

I guess the point of this post is to reach some sort of an understanding with those who have mistaken my sarcastic nature for something other than just that. I'm a sarcastic bastard, plain and simple, and normally don't mean what I say in the context it's taken in. I am by no means saying people that don't get my sense of humor are unintelligent, not at all. What I am saying is, because of my sense of humor, arguments have happened, and hurt feelings have ensued and there isn't any need of that happening, just realize that if I suddenly insult you and you don't feel it's warranted, I am expecting you to insult me back and waiting for the laughs to follow :)

Yes, sometimes I may cross the line, and chances are I don't realize I've done it until after, and normally I will apologize. However there will be times where I don't think I've crossed that line, but have, and need to be told. So, on those occasions, feel free to smack me upside the head, and that will just be the universal signal for "You've taken it too far you jerk!" :) So with all that said, hopefully much witty banter will follow, fewer arguments will occur, and there will be fewer casualties in the "feelings" department.
