October is National Sarcastics Awareness Month. I thought this month was declared specifically so that people can explore their inner sarcastics and let that hidden part of themselves come out for a short while so that it does not grow to be a big scary monster that makes a dramatic appearance at Christmas time (well that’s my explanation for people’s craziness and my suggestion for their therapy). October is also Self-Awareness Month so I thought the two went hand in hand. But apparently Sarcastic Awareness Month is:

1. For those who realize they are sarcastic and want to get it under control
2. for those who are sarcastic and want to get better at it
3. for those who are forced to live or work with people who are sarcastic

Here is a short booklist that can get you started in exploring sarcasm:

1. Dave Barry’s Complete Guide To Guys by Dave Barry.
2. How To Tell Your Friends From Apes by Will Cuppy.
3. I Still Miss My Man, But My Aim Is Getting Better by Sarah Shankman (I personally don’t know the book, but it is a great title).

Here are some sarcastic comments to keep handy, they’ll help you get through this month:

1. If I throw a stick will you leave?
2. Don’t let your mind wander; it’s far too small to be let out on its own.
3. I like you. People say I’ve got no taste, but I like you.
4. Please, keep talking. I always yawn when I am interested.
5. Whatever it is that is eating you, it must be suffering horribly.
6. and this one I use all the time: I plead contemporary insanity.

Enjoy the freedom to be sarcastic this month. Remember, You are not as bad as people say, you are much, much worse.
