Yeah, sure, you can use sarcasm to detect dementia! That's a great idea.

I'll have to try this at work.
I'm pretty sure it's true. There's a lot of humor that's lost on momWolf these days. I think I had to explain the last couple GEICO commercials to her.

If I ever stop dripping sarcasm from practically every sentence, my family and cow-orkers will probably call 911. |

Sarcasm is my primary form of communication.
Selene is now actively getting angry when I use it. Does this mean that she's coming down with dementia?

How about using dementia to determine sarcasm? Anyone?
Any takers? Who are you again? A piker?

How about using determinism to be demented about sarcasm?

I think I have dementia.
I don't get sarcasm most of the time.
