anyone got any good stories about players not getting sarcasm by npcs?

I did have a DM who liked to use excessive sarcasm. So I created a character with the homebrew flaw, Oblivious to Sarcasm. I ended up bedding the princess("no, I want you to bang my daughter while the goblins seige our gates"), looting a whole bank("well, why don't you just take the vault as payment, why don't you?" I came back later for the actual vault, with a cart to wheel it away.), summoned an evil god(no, we should just finish the ritual ourselves"), and gained a swimming pool filled with disembodied breasts("oh, sure, and your next wish should be for a pool of tits and jello!" The genie did not know what jello was, but I got the swimming pool.).

A fun quote. "Sir! The goblins are escaping!"
"Well, let's just stand around like dumbasses, then!"
"Sir! Permission to sit around like a dumbass instead?"

Sad truth is, well...

That was me only like six years ago. I did NOT understand sarcasm. I didn't even understand most social cues. Hell, I honestly still don't, some of the time. But that's HFA for ya! The ADHD makes it a bit worse, though, 'cause you kinda stop paying attention to what people are saying, making it even harder to tell if they're joking or not.

I think the only difference between Forrest Gump and I is that I've got anger issues, and I never had polio.

I'm also not as fit as he is. Nor do I like shrimp. But other than those differences, and the fact that my IQ is actually comfortably normal for an American, and I'm terrible with a Southern Accent, him and I are almost exactly alike.

So for assorted reasons during the terrible vampire game I was in. The deed to the property we were competing over was located in the police station.

Our NPC handler himself jewish, suggested that one player dress as an Orthodox Jew and steal the deed.

This was taken as a serious suggestion.

Somehow, amazingly he got away with this. Mostly because the storyteller was favoring him heavily.

At least he was getting away with it until our party comically dumb and racist meatshield thought they were attacking another player character, threw a trash can lid, and nearly killed him (it was a bit of an accident)

I usually get it. The problem is the DM doesn't realize that I got it, but rather chose to dismiss it as a tertiary priority at most.

Apparently Walken here isn't used to this whole "piracy" thing.
"A good pirate never takes another person's property!"

And don't even get me started on the murder and rape. Bad form.

I think you're misinterpreting it. A Good Pirate never takes another person's property. A good pirate kills the owner, forfeiting his claim on the property. Therefore leaving it for the pirate to claim.

Or alternatively a good pirate arranges a deal for the property. Like I dunno, the owner's life for it?
