Anyone else gotten to that age where it's sometimes hard to differentiate between genuine and sarcastic?
How do you tell which is which?

Act like it's genuine, think like it's sarcasm.

It depends on the individual, the situation and the importance of knowing...
You can always confirm; at worst case you look silly - otherwise you're dealing with uncertain facts thereby making uninformed decisions.
If its not important - then don't worry...

Try responding with this line, offered by a Canadian colleague the other day:
