Just When I Thought I Was Getting Better
Someone sent a routine email to the entire department this morning, to which I fired off ("Reply All," naturally) what I thought was a fun little moment of levity for the team. Then I get this from a coworker, who apparently thinks I'm a dick. I guess this thing is making the rounds of Corporate America this week. Ah, well. it's pretty funny anyway. Truth hurts, I suppose, but I'm not taking this drug.

Tell them you'd take it more seriously if they had spelled Tourettes and syndrome correctly.
Use spell check much? Geez.

Why would anybody try to stamp out a sense of humor, sarcastic or not? I heart you, Jetpack. You make Cubeworld(tm) a more interesting place to live.

I think someone doesn't have a sense of humor....
(him not you, just to clarify.)

What a great use of stock imagery. Tell this co-worker you'll stop being sarcastic when he stops being an idiot.
I didn't know Of Montreal was featured on outback steakhouse commercials. I don't have T.V.

I wanna be like Mike! I worked with the sarcastically challenged once. Once.
They took exception to my humorous—imo—group reply that maybe leaving kids home from the company picnic might result in everyone having a better time.
And now I freelance.

People say 'sarcasm is the lowest form of wit'.
Bollocks. The lowest form of wit is the kind of half-wit who can't appreciate a nice bit of sarcasm.
