Pearls of Sarcasm

*********
"Tap on my window, knock on my door - I want to make you feel beautiful" - so sang the Maroon 5 in their "Beauty Queen of only eighteen..." This was so absorbing a tune for me that I put the verses in my orkut update. What did I get as a response from one of my friends?
"Tap on your window, knock on your door, pat on your back and bang on your head..!!"
Can things get any more sarcastic than this? I wonder..!!

Last weekend, when I was returning from my friend's place in Scranton, I missed my mobile charger at Scranton. Wrote a mail to people stating that my charger is @ Scranton, PA while my mobile is with me @ Shelton,CT. A friend of mine who got my message wrote "Ravi, you should not be doing this. You should have gone to Dallas in Texas, left your mobile there. Then, you could have written a nice and neat blog titled Charger @ Scranton, PA, Mobile @ Dallas,TX, Me @ Shelton - struggles of the separated trio"

While shopping for items at a grocery store, I picked up a few boxes of sweets - all soaked with ghee and made with pure milk. My friend's sense of sarcasm couldn't stop him from asking - "Why aren't you taking more of these malnourishment tonics?" He was obviously referring to the fact that we are a bit overbuilt and shouldn't ideally be feasting on sweets.

I will post more such pearls of sarcasm down the line.
