...GRASP SIGNIFICANCE OF IRONY

SAN FRANCISCO - The Daily Telegraph spoke to Jay Fullmer, 38, who
became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony
yesterday.

"It was weird,' Fullmer said, 'I was vacationing out in London and, like, talking to this guy and it was raining and sh1t and he said, like, "great
weather, in it?", or something like that."

Said Fullmer: "And I thought - wait a minute, it's like, no way is it
great weather!."'

Fullmer soon realised that the other man's "mistake" was deliberate.

"This guy was pretty cool about it!," Fullmer said.

Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and
3, planned to use irony himself in future.

"I'm like saying it all the time." he said. "Last weekend I was like
grilling steaks and I like burned them to sh1t, so I turned to everyone
and I said "Hey guys, great weather!".

Ps...I hope our resident Americans laughed loudest of all!!

Sorry mate, but that's not irony. Saying that it's great weather when it is in fact not good weather is just being sarcastic.

However, creating a post about people not understanding irony and demonstrating a complete lack of understanding of it yourself.

Now THAT'S ironic!

Wasn't being aggressive guys, just pointing out that if you're going to take the piss, you may as well get it right.
