Leonard: Yes... For God's sake, Sheldon, do I have to... hold up a sarcasm sign every time I open my mouth?
Sheldon: You have a sarcasm sign?
Sheldon Cooper: In a few minutes when I gloat over the failure of this enterprise, how would you prefer I do it? The standard "I told you so" with the classic neener-neener, or just my normal look of haughty derision?

Raj Koothrappali: You don't know we're wrong yet.
Sheldon Cooper: Haughty derision it is.

Oh, the other key to sarcasm is that it has to be funny. Work on that, too.
I hate to agree with ARC, because he's almost always wrong, but he's correct this time. No one knows your sarcasm because it sounds exactly like what you normally say.
Now if you were to say every post you've ever made on here about Tiger was sarcasm, that would make sense!
