Bold and underlined just sounds as if you're really angry, and we can tell from your hand clapping that you're quite a happy fellow.
I guess bored.
It's just that every now and then, just like everyone else I suppose, I don't know when someone is being sarcastic. And sometimes I say things that are so far off the hook in my mind, I think everyone knows I'm being sarcastic.
For example, someone wrote that the most difficult person in the world to live with; is themselves. And I wrote, I thought it was my Uncle Eddy.

Now which one of us is being sarcastic?

So I thought if there was a Sarcastic Font we would always know. But since there isn't a sarcastic font, then maybe bold, highlight and italics would work. Bonny said a couple of exclamation points might help.

Not all of my ideas work. In fact, hardly any at all.
