In between study sessions, I decided to log in to World of Warcraft to check out the Auction House briefly. During my visit, someone said:
The auction house never lags
This was stated as a joke, of course.
I added on to the joke, stating:
Yeah, 'Lag' and 'AH' are practically oxymoron's.
From that point on, I got three replies, one in the form of a whisper.
How is lag and auction house mutaly exculsive?
Oxymoron is a contradiction
How are lag and ah direct contradictions?
I argued the matter for about 10 minutes trying to explain that my message consisted of 100% sarcasm, but I could NOT drill the fucking concept into their heads. Finally, I just gave up deciding that my audience didn't have an ounce of common sense in their brain. One proof that intelligence is
useless without common sense.
