Hello Alan,

Many thanks because I wanted to say this. What a simple could have been and I didn't know either.

Regards:
Kati

Hello Alan,

I am really tizzy ."Why the cocaine I have my blame."-this is satirical epigram of one of the best Hungarian poet. I translated it but I didn't find their rhymes.Without rhyme: Why cocaine I have my reasons.
I don't want to burden you but c'est la vie or that's the life.

Regards:
Kati

Well Alan speaking as probably the best looking member on the forum can I just add I don't like the way a lot of people don't take themselves seriously enough - Which is another reason I don't like sarcasm on the Forum, - I mean there's bound to be other people on the forum nearly as smart and humble as me who know pretty much what's going on if you get what I mean - But unfortunately some of them still don't realize how perfect I am..... do you think you could just tell them for me please Alan. :-)

How annoying was that? - (on a richter scale of 10) :-)

Only a bit more than one year later,

I would give it an eight, taking into account that we are used to the earth being shaky here and don't chicken out by a less than seven : - )

Hello Alan,
Thanks for fascinating topic. Some of them resemble to ours.
While reading it I've recalled my aunt and elder sister. They are keen on using in their every point.Actually here in Uzbekistan people like to use sarcasm in their speech. Even some people adore explaining their mind by the help of proverbs and sayings.

Many thanks

Dear Sir,

I enjoyed read your essay and learned a lot form it. I only knew a few of them. I believe it can be confusing to understand sarcasm.
Thank you for your time!

Kindly,
