They say “sarcasm doesn’t work on the Internet,” but I think it works overtime and serves nicely as a filter for weeding out the humor-impaired. (Or at least those who are dead-set against giving anyone benefit of the doubt.) There’s sarcasm that’s cruel, but then there’s sarcasm that’s silly or flippant — okay, maybe inappropriately so, sometimes — which is why I left a few private comments, just to gauge the room, on Timothy Key’s marvelous Story about hot dog casseroles:
delightfully written in response to a search example I pulled out of my left ear and discovered was a treasure trove of SEO gold here on Medium, an untapped streak of meaty goodness that he proceeded to mine, right on cue, like a 49er in the Gold Rush.
Life’s too short not to have fun with it.
