Sarcasm

Professor M. Seweryński was famous for his sublime and intellectual Sarcasm. And indeed, in the lectures it was possible to have a really good time, although the examination at the Professor was one of the most difficult. A separate question is whether SARCASM can be used in pleadings and court appearances.

The line between sarcasm and IRONY is subtle. On one occasion, during a hearing of a party who ostentationously chewed chewing gum, the judge asked the party the following question: “Can you also treat the court with chewing gum? Because the court is also stressed by the whole situation.” Sarcasm laced with humor may be in place for one more reason: a joke (and especially a grammatical joke), as L. Wittgenstein wrote, has metaphysical depth – and to the point that the whole philosophy could, according to Wittgenstein, be presented in the form of jokes.

When my dad tried to teach me some decent hand-made work and saw my poor progress, he told me I had TWO LEFT HANDS. Still, every winter I would buy a normal right glove on my right hand. I had no remorse for not showing my dad respect through these purchases. It is worrying that you can have two left hands for a JOB that does not require the participation of hands (cf. “Good ROBOT Treaty”).
