Damage to any of three different areas could render individuals unable to understand sarcastic comments.
That explains why a couple of people I know just don’t understand my sarcasm. They are obviously suffering brain damage! It all makes sense now, doesn’t it?
Someone sarcastic obviously made this cartoony infographic — I mean, using a poorly illustrated cartoon to illustrate sarcasm and brain damage has to be made sarcastically, right?
