I didn't even think about the Clinton connection. I really don't know what I was thinking, I just... well, never mind. I am not sure what this says about me, but I used to love to do this thing where I would say something sarcastic, but really what I said was true. The confusing thing was that the sarcastic meaning was true, too, and it left people spinning - wondering which I meant. The funny thing was that I meant both! Do you call that double entendre? I had lots of fun with that until everybody started taking everything I said in the worst possible way! Sometimes they made up meanings that I hadn't thought of, yet. The kicker was the day I told the pastors overweight daughter, "You look nice today.", and got hauled into a meeting to discuss my attitude! So, I quit doing the sarcasm, but I miss it. Most people can't employ sarcasm without sliding over into "course jesting". It takes a pure heart to keep it clean and crisp. It seems that you have what it takes, though.
