Advanced Eye-Rolling for Beginners

Sarcasm is the only language in which "thanks a lot" is a complaint.

You already speak a little of it. This book teaches you to speak it well, without losing friends, jobs or teeth.

Written almost entirely in sarcasm (obviously), Advanced Eye-Rolling for Beginners explains how sarcasm actually works, why your brain needs a second to catch it and how to deliver it so people laugh instead of leaving.

Inside, you'll find:
- The Gap, the Wink and the Catch, the three parts of every sarcastic line
- The Punch Risk scale: how badly could this line end, from 1 to 5?
- The Five Levels of Sarcasm, from Dry Toast to Nuclear
- Fifty perfectly nice words, ruined forever
- Sarcasm at work, in love, with family, online and in public
- Deadpan, the Double Reverse and self-deprecation for advanced eye-rollers
- Damage control for the recently punched, and when not to be sarcastic at all
- Real research on sarcasm, creativity and email misfires
- A quiz to find your sarcasm type and the A-Z of Sarcasm
- Sarcasm in the Wild: 75 field tests on everyday targets, each rated for Punch Risk
- A sarcasm journal for your best lines and an official certificate for graduates

Perfect for the sarcastic friend, coworker or relative in your life. Or for yourself. We won't tell.
