Tales of Irony

[Trish the Stalker]

I enjoy irony.

Today at the pet store my boyfriend managed to get the cockatiels to really like being held by him while they refused to be picked up by me. He handed me the one he was holding at the time and just as I said, "I have to adjust my hand so he doesn't poop on it," lo and behold but what happens? It poops. Right on my hand. Not even a full second after. Seriously.

And that was the first time a bird pooped on me.

Similarly when I was visiting Vancouver a number of years ago I went to the aquarium with my brothers, as well as my much older cousin who lived there. He had just finished explaining that we needed to watch our hotdogs to make sure the seagulls didn't swoop down out of the sky and steal them right from our hands and instantly a seagull swooped down and stole his, bun and all.

i took a school trip to Italy this past week. one of our teachers was pooped on by a seagul in the Island of Capri last time she went. she was pooped on while on the Island of Capri this time.she was wering the same shirt too. we've started a club, since i've been pooped on by a pigeon.

^ isnt that a song? sometimes im clueless and im clumsy...

any way, an old man turns 98. he won the lottery and died the next day.
its a black fly in your chardonnay
its a death row pardon, two minutes too late.

and isnt it ironic? dont u think?
its like rain on ur wedding day
its a free ride when u've already paid
its the good advice that u just didnt take
and who would have thought it figured

Mr. play-it-safe was afraid to fly. he packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye. he waited his whole damn life just to take that flight, and as the plane crashed down he thought, well, isnt this nice?

blah blah blah

traffic jam when ur already late
a 'no smoking' sign on ur cigarette break
its like 10,000 spoons, when all u need is a knife
its like meeting the man of ur dreams and then meeting his beautiful wife

isnt it ironic? dont u think?

yeah none of that stuff is actually ironic. I love Alanis, but she made the biggest malapropism in history when she released this song.

Alanis Morisette knows nothing of irony. Rain on your wedding day is only ironic if it was in a place like Arizona where it never rains. 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife is only ironic if you need it to stab the guy who gave you 10,000 spoons. And the traffic jam when you're already late for work is only ironic if you're heading to a seminar about how you've solved traffic problems in your area.

exactly my point.
