Irony

[Stick Legs]

Irony:

Irony is when the thread I started about stupid things salesmen say gets locked after 37 pages because of stupid things salesmen say.

Anyone got any other examples...

James F. Fixx, who spurred the jogging craze with his best-selling books about running and preached the gospel that active people live longer, died of a heart attack Friday while on a solitary jog in Vermont. He was 52 years old.

Allen Carr, author of stopping smoking book died of lung cancer.

I wonder if he would've died earlier if he hadn't stopped?

A black fly in your Chardonnay maybe?

Anyway, a good few years ago there was a truck carrying fire extinguishers locally that crashed, went on fire and was destroyed. Pity Morissette didn't hear about it though!

Ironic - writing a song about irony when you clearly don't know what irony is.

A black fly in your Chardonnay, that's just bad luck, not irony!

Unless you were attending an event by Rentokil, where they were launching a new pest control product which eliminated any risk of black flies getting into the wine production process...

Using the word "ironic" far more than you should, usually to describe something that is "surprising" in an effort to make yourself sound more intelligent but achieving the exact opposite result.

The word literally, is literally misused in a similar fashion.

How you might feel when standing at an ironing board ironing a few shirts and stuff.

Isn't that statement slightly illiterate?

I think the Alainis Morrisette song sums it up perfectly.
