I've long thought that there should be punctuation marks that denote sarcasm and jokes. My high school friend, Bruiser, came up with the "delta sarc." It was a triangle with a squiggle inside, for just such occasions. Here's an example, when spoken aloud:
"I really enjoyed Mr. Freeman's history lecture today, delta sarc..."
I can't help but think that if only it had caught on with the general public, all of this could have been averted, sigma joke.

Well, aren't you a genius ~ ~ ~ I think the trailing tilde works well to denote saracasm. I used it here multiple times for extra stress on the sarcasm.

Did I ever mention how much I enjoyed meeting you a while back? ~
And how I really like you as a person. ~ ~ ~
