Yeah, I wish somebody invented a sarcasm punctuation mark /s

How ironic ؟

I always felt that this diluted the sarcasm and was a bit like explaining a joke

Well it's not like the entire point of sarcasm is to mean something other than what you say.

Leonard: Hey, Penny. How's work?

Penny: Great! I hope I'm a waitress at the Cheesecake Factory for my whole life!

Sheldon: Was that sarcasm?

Penny: No.

Sheldon: Was that sarcasm?

Penny: Yes.

> Sarcasm is nearly impossible to detect in writing.
