Sarcasm and The Human Condition

A friend recently told me that I'm too sarcastic with her. I feel bad if I hurt her feelings, but even while apologizing I couldn't help but laugh. Is there something wrong with me? Am I really nothing but post-modernist mockery? I often poke fun at these popular books that are all clever and no substance, but am I pointing out the faults in them I see in myself? Or maybe I'm legitimately a funny guy and she needs to get over herself...probably not.

I was going to write something like this: "Looking at the human condition one can either laugh or cry...I choose laughter." But I couldn't get through it. It's just too damn funny.
