Michael
The most frequent time I hear my name is when
somebody is yelling at me for a poorly thought out or “bad” joke. My “cruel”
sense of humor has only a tinge of sarcasm, or so I’m told. I believe that the
unremitting sarcasm comes from the background of my name. The biblical meaning
of the name Michael is “Who is like God?” which is a rhetorical question
itself. Rhetorical questions are a key element of sarcasm. People may see my
humor as malicious and uncaring, but if they can see past the asperity, they’ll
realize it’s all as good natured as a forest fire. The name Michael is also at a high level in
the biblical hierarchy. Michael was a mighty warrior, protector and promoter of
righteousness. I like to think that I stand for the right principles and am
capable of being a qualified leader. Being as big as I am, with proper morals,
allows me to instigate and pester like a mosquito without the fear of paying
dearly for it. SMACK!

You can certainly come of as a sarcastic jerk, but I've long since learned to see past the rough edges, and now you're one of my very best and most trusted friends. Your somewhat callous attitude and "witty" responses still dance on my nerves occasionally, but deep, DEEP down (just kidding...), you're a sweetheart, whether you choose to accept it or not.
ReplyDeleteI like how you elements of speech to help further your point.
