Wow. That's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife, or a free ride when you've already paid*








*To understand joke, please refer to a certain Alanis Morisette song....

This is a whole other joke... the wonderful Irish comedian Ed Byrne once pointed out the fact that nothing in that song is ironic- at worst, the scenarios are just a bit of a pisser. In fact, the only thing ironic about the whole thing is that it's a song called Ironic that has nothing at all to do with irony

I'm not into irony. That's why I usually only wear T-shirts.

Yep, I heard that.
Winning the lottery at 98 only to die the next day would be bloody* annoying.

Unfortunately I've gone and broke that streak.

A little too ironic. Yeah, I really do think.

(And I still think the song would be better Alanis sang

"It's like meeting the man of your dreams
Then meeting his life-partner Steve")

Wish me luck. I'm 8 minutes away from trying the Jeopardy on-line test.

American comedian Mo Rocca said that raining on your wedding day isn't ironic. However it would be ironic if the bride and groom were from Seattle, but planned their wedding to take place in New Mexico to avoid the heavy Seattle rain, but it ended up raining anyway in New Mexico even though it was unexpected and planned against.

Yes, well... not everyone understands irony. One of the best lines I ever saw about irony was:

My mother never understood the irony in calling me a 'son of a bitch'.

I once heard a radio presenter say that a name was so tricky they'd had to take advice from the BBC's pronounciation unit...
