Irony
My friends and I are planning a trip to the beach this weekend (which we've been planning for forever), and a few moments after telling my boss that during our weekly meeting, I find out that our long-delayed backstage trip to Eat Bulaga would finally push through this Saturday.Akala ko pa naman makikita ko na sa wakas si Jopay. How ironic.
Which reminds me of this monologue by comedian Ed Byrne just ripping a new one on Alanis Morrissette for having no fucking clue what irony is:
"Rain on your wedding day? That's not ironic, it's just a pain in the hole."
"Ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife? That's not ironic either, that's just fucking weird. But of course, if you did have ten thousand spoons when all you needed was a knife, and then the next day you discovered that actually a spoon would have done the job just as well, now that would be ironic"
"A traffic jam when you're already late. Now that's definitely not ironic. Unless you were a town planner on your way to give a speech at a convention on easing traffic congestion."
"Now do you know what's ironic? A stupid, whiny Canadian bint writing a song called 'Ironic' which goes on to become a massive worldwide hit despite her not having the faintest idea what irony actually is. Now that's bleedin' ironic."
