Irony at its finest.

[Plow King]

What are some of the great ironic moments youve seen or heard about.

I heard about someone who broke their leg mucking around on their friends crutches.

There was the thing a couple of years ago in the Darwin Awards where some guys at a ski resort decided to steal the foam mats off the charlift poles to go tobogganing down the slope. One of them slammed into a pole holding the charlift up. Woulda been okay if the foam mat wasn't missing...

6 years ago our house burnt down. The fire department traced the blaze to an electrical fault in the smoke detector.

Disclaimer: this did not actually happen.

In the early 1900's Christian American's sent money away to the black people in Africa.

In most cases,their slaves were made work for free.

America's support for bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Manuel Noriega............America's deposition of a democraticly elected socialist leader, in support of democracy.......The loss of civil liberties to protect freedom.......Arms races, or better put, "security spirals".....The security we find on the nuclear knife edge......

It's a long list.

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
Isn't it ironic ... don't you think
Chorus

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids good-bye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
'Well isn't this nice...'
And isn't it ironic ... don't you think
Repeat Chorus


Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

It's a traffic jam when you're already late
It's a no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...
Repeat Chorus


Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out


Sorry about that. Its been in my head all day, and since your all talking about irony, its yours.

[PINT of Stella, mate!]

Christ mate you're a nasty, vindictive piece of work. It's only 11am, it'll be stuck in my head for hours...

The irony of a song about irony that fails to capture the essence of what irony is...

Now THAT's ironic.

[muzza167]
