Jay Fullmer, 38, yesterday became the first American to get to grips
with the concept of irony.
"It was weird" Fullmer said. "I was in London and like, talking to this guy and it was raining and he pulled a face and said, "Great weather eh?" and I thought - "Wait a minute, no way is it great weather".
Fullmer then realised that the other man"s "mistake" was in fact deliberate.
Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and
3, plans to use irony himself in future.
"I"m, like, using it all the time" he said. "Last weekend I was grilling steaks and I burned them and I said "Hey, great weather."
OT: Joke - Amerikansk ironi

Kunne godt lyde lidt som enten Jack Handy eller Stephen Wright - style.

Fear can sometimes be a useful emotion. For instance, let"s say you"re an astronaut on the moon and you fear that your partner has been turned into Dracula. The next time he goes out for the moon pieces, wham!, you just slam the door behind him and blast off. He might call you on the radio and say he"s not Dracula, but you just say, "Think again, bat man." /Jack Handy

det er faktisk ret sjovt. Sad så sent som idag og tænkte over, om amerikanere ikke forstår ironi, og er nogle underlige fisk:-)
Har tit oplevet at tage pis på en i chatten, og været ironisk, hvor det virkere som om de ikke fattede det.
Idag skete følgende:
Sad på bord med en spiller der hed "overtilt111". Han havde sprøjtet 50BB på ingen tid. Efter han for 117 gang havde prøvet at bluffe mig ud af en hånd kom denne lille dialog:
mig: why are you called overtilt?
ham: I over bet
mig: you don"t say:-o
ham: yes
ham: why?

de kalder det "sarcasm" og er vel ok til det:) Som da en af mine venner fik kommentaren (efter at have slowplayed KK til turn for tredje gang i et 15/30 limitgame) - u r my idol!
