Does anyone know of any free resources/activities on the web, for teaching conversation incorporating sarcasm?

Thanks!

Isn't sarcasm best taught on the fly?

One needs to be taught first how to snatch flies out of mid-air with his bare hands.

How about fly swatters instead?

Not to mention bug spray.

Sarcasm is very a cultural thing. I haven't got the chance to see how a fly looks like in NYC! Easterns flies are black though.

I prefer fighting hand to hand.

You may not have recognized them. NYC flies have style. They wear fur coates in winter.
