My T and I are both VERY sarcastic, so we do tend to banter back an forth, particularly at the beginning of the session. And he knows he can be tacky sometimes with the things he says to me. In fact, he'll say "This is going to sound really tacky, but . . . ." And off he goes. The forewarning is supposed to prepare me for the comment with an odd twist so that I don't take offense, I think. We really do get a kick out of each other.
