Irony

Irony is when you leave early for work and there's a wreck on the freeway.

I get these frequent enough that it seems that it either is safe for work, or the IT staff has yet to find out.

Irony is when it rains on your wedding day. Right? Isn't it?

Irony is when a wart specialist/surgeon has a wart on her own cheek. (I witnessed this on a TV program tonight.)

Irony is when the residents of your apartment complex are getting sketchy enough that you are worried about car burglary, so you move to nicer apartments in a luxury community with tons of amenities and lots of smug, snooty people. Then your car gets burglarized within 2 weeks of move-in and you find out this is a very common problem on the property. And none of the amenities work.

Irony is the most misused word in American English.

Irony is something that kinda looks and feels like Iron.

Irony is when when you want to watch a baseball match and your wife tells you to switch off the sound...

Tried to play the game and still got banned. Irony, anyone?

I can't believe someone would get banned when their signature contained such interesting and informative links. Strange.

Irony is banning a spammer in an attempt to prevent him from using your forum from advertising, but neglecting to remove the links from his post or even put a rel="nofollow" in them.

So long as those links are visible and we're not explicitly telling search engines to ignore them, the spammer is accomplishing his goals of using AGN for free advertising. Sure, we're not clicking on the links, but search spiders are noting that AGN is linking to those sites multiple times and thus boosting their status in the index.

Meh, I usually change the links but someone else caught this poseur before I got to him.
