No, I'm totally aware of it. It's other people who don't pick up on it.

Story of my life, sis.
There was an episode of the show Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends in which the character Bloo discovers the concept of sarcasm and he spends the rest of the episode saying completely incongruous things, and finally Mac is just like:
"Are you being sarcastic?"
"Man, I don't even know anymore." <----- Like looking into a mirror 
Growing up in a family of chronic sarcastics apparently causes permanent damage...

People have told me I'm being sarcastic or offensive when I'm being no such things. 
Other times, yes; I'm really sarcastic.

I'll sometimes joke with people and notice that they'll either get mad or take what I said in a literal since. Sometimes people know I'm kidding. I really try not to be sarcastic. I was raised with an alcoholic father who was humorously sarcastic. I don't know if that's from him or something else. I sometimes do feel misconstrued with what I say. The funny part about it is I don't handle other people's sarcasms or put downs for that matter. So I don't know if this is related to being passive aggressive or just socially inapproppriate....a part of AS. I've also been told I have a strange since of humor.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Hey! Whaddya mean by dat? (heehee) Anyway...
When people are being sarcastic in real life they usually deliver the line with a flat or intense look on their face and a monotone voice. Now, who do we know like that?
I posted in another thread about the "Aspie look" that a lot of us have a look to the eyes that's dry and almost sardonic. It's like we're thinking, "Oh, brother!" all the time.
I think we do have a dry sense of humor and it shows up in the posts here. That's why we have to be careful reading someone else's posts. I bet Dennis Miller has a lot of fans on WP.

YES I have been noticing posts with that crack of dry humor. You'll have to post a youtube of the "aspie look" LOL.
Denis Miller, some of his stuff reminds me of what I'd really wanna say but couldn't get away with in public.
