Nothing ironic about that either. The only irony is that she wrote a whole song about irony without actually including any. I bet alanleroy is a fan.

No. I even think it's ironic that you failed to see the clear irony in your attack on drmilled. That's ok. I don't think you understand sarcasm either.




Damn , Forkguy , you need to lighten up...have a stiff drink , get laid , do something !!! Bob
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.

It's like having your steak and NOT being able to eat it, too.
The Gift of the Magi.
Della and Jim have no money to buy a Christmas gift for each other.
Unknown to Jim, Della sells her long lovely hair, buys Jim a chain for his watch with the money.
Unknown to Della, Jim sells his watch, buys jeweled hair combs for Della with the money.
Oops. Oh, well.
Irony.

One of O'Henry's finest short stories.

In the sequel, the reader learns that the stores at which the watch-chain and the hair-combs are sold have excellent return policies.

OK, bear with me, because I'm struggling. Would it be ironic if some park rangers seized some food from some visitors and then some animals attacked the rangers and ate the food?

And, BTW, I question the entire premise, because I have NEVER SEEN a sign that says "Don't feed the animals because they will become dependent." I.e. lose their natural ability to obtain food. I thought the whole reason was to avoid unfortunate interactions between man and beast.

Is it ironic that a single fork can screw it up?
