“Sarcasm?â€
“It’s from the Greek, sarkasmos. To bite the lips. It means that you aren’t really saying what you mean, but people will get your point. I invented it, Bartholomew named it.â€
“Well, if the village idiot named it, I’m sure it’s a good thing.â€
“There you go, you got it.â€

“Sure you did.â€
“Is that sarcasm?â€
“Irony, I think.â€
“What’s the difference?â€

“Maybe you should ask the idiot.â€
“Now you’ve got it.â€
“What?â€
“Sarcasm.
