Sarcasm often doesn’t go well in the workplace, but this joke is from the website Sickipedia and was posted on Twitter on March 11, 2014:
“Sarcasm will get you nowhere in life.” my boss told me.
“Well it got me to the ‘International Sarcasm’ finals in Santiago, Chile in 2009.” I informed him.
“Really?” he asked.
“No.” I said.
The joke has been printed on several images.
