Anyway, which part did you think I was being sarcastic about, nixar?

Ah, never mind. I think I was trying to be funny, which rarely goes well.

But I know what you mean. About sarcasm. I think it's because people really are getting stupider. We have a whole generation that learned the (wrong) meaning of irony from Alanis Morrissette (I hope I misspelled her name).
