Tobias pointed me to this one. It is a MUST READ. You will still be alive if you don't read it, but it will be a life much less worth living. Your choice.
To kick things off, I'll quote the introduction:
In August of 1865, a Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee, wrote to his former slave, Jourdon Anderson, and requested that he come back to work on his farm. Jourdon — who, since being emancipated, had moved to Ohio, found paid work, and was now supporting his family — responded spectacularly by way of the letter seen below (a letter which, according to newspapers at the time, he dictated).And here is the most understated scarcastic letter I've ever read. And do make sure you read to the end.
Rather than quote the numerous highlights in this letter, I'll simply leave you to enjoy it. Do make sure you read to the end.

Hmmm... two examples of sarcasm in one week.
