Being sarcastic could be bad for your HEART | Daily Mail Online "A study of 2,300 heart attack survivors in the US found those who displayed hostile character traits - including sarcasm, cynicism, resentment, impatience or irritability - were at much greater risk of dying of a second attack within the next two years.' I'm only trying to help.
This was the most helpful article I have ever read in my life, which will be much longer now that I know. Thank you for saving our lives monk.
Good thing my Calcium Score came back good recently! It was hard enough to change lifestyle (diet find something other than basketball). But no sarcasm?!?!?!? I would be a dead man walking after the first event…

My sarcasm brings me great joy. Seems like a positive to me. Ok, but seriously. Sarcasm has been shown to stimulate creativity and creativity is associated with longevity. So…
