I lived in Oklahoma for 3 years and it took me ages to find a group of friends who understood sarcasm. I mean, even the drag queen server at my regular bar seemed baffled by sarcasm.

I think it was mostly the very religious people who had trouble and there are a LOT of very religious people in Oklahoma.

You know what, you’re right about that. There are plenty of times my sarcasm wasn’t caught by north Americans. That slipped my mind. Interesting 🤔.
