Sarcasm is an obscure form of humor that needs an acquired taste to appreciate. If you are a fan of Chandler Bing from the popular series, 'Friends', you know what I am trying to say.

double meaning' to a whole new level. Dr. Gregory House from
House MD, is another character that keeps dishing out great sarcasm. Here is a compilation of sarcastic quotes about life that will put things in a funny perspective. To read through them, would be a delight for sarcasm lovers, who enjoy its
