What's greater than Humility?


Sarcasm! Sarcasm is a reigning quality. A quality so unappreaciated yet a widespread. It hits a person like the recent Hurricane Katrina (bad pun, I say? However, im trying to show how much credibility sarcasm has here). It satirically and paradoxilly exhibits the useless details of life with a flair.

Why, sarcasm? Well, it's because I battled with the spelling of this word for a decade. My phone dictionary always had a question mark after I attempted to type it out in an sms. I trusted the phone dictionary way more than my own instincts, lets all say thanks to my insecurity and how technology does fail. Finally, two days ago I had to include the word 'sarcasm' in my sms, did the usual routine of typing it out and voila! Sony erricsson takes a stab at my spelling skills. The last straw had been pulled, with overrated fury I logged on to dictionary.com and typed out 'sarcasm'. I was right! I was right all along!

So what's better than beating technology? Boasting about it! I told the whole story to my sister, summarized it, added a little more spice and handed over the rejected phone to her. She tries to type out sarcasm, and it comes out perfectly fine. She hands the phone over to me and says "you have screwed up SMS-ing skills".

Just when I thought I had a breakthrough.
