Irony

[TheRightToArmBears]

What's the most ironic thing thats happenned to you? I had this thought a couple of minutes ago; I was listening to a song called "Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop, whilst playing an online game of snake, and realising that I hadn't been outside for two days. I'm sure you guys must be able to top that.

"I think ironic would be, that instead of bullets, our guns would squirt a healing salve, that cured all wounds"

the ironing is delicious

I was listening to 'Always look on the brightside of life' Then turned and stared directly into the sun.

Harr-Harr.

Well no, that story would count as slightly ironic. Would have been much more ironic if he was actually singing/writing the song.

It would be more ironic if I was contemplating suicide, but far less tasteful.
