I heard it as, "Many a truth is spoken in jest"...close enough, & I pretty much live by it...

People get their feelings hurt when they ask me a question that they don't to hear the answer to...sometimes, it seems to ease the blow a little if I can find a way to speak the truth while padding it with a little humor...

Sarcasm gets a bad name because too many use it as a cudgel to inflict blunt-force trauma, when it should be used as a finely honed razor...& used sparingly, when no other device will do...
