fire station on fire
policeman jaywalking
fat dietition
a muslim who's favourite food is bacon

The best example of irony (it's not funny, but its irony) that was given on some site about irony was "A woman who lives in NYC who has no luck in finding love, moves to LA in an attempt to find love, only to meet and fall in love with a man who lives 2 blocks away from where she lived in NYC".

This word is used all the time on BF. Can someone give me an example of irony.

Ln Cpl Baldrick has got it pegged, in "Blackadder Goes Fourth":

Blackadder: Do you know what 'irony' is Baldrick?
Baldrick: Yes, it's a bit like coppery except it's made of i-ron.

The "scumbag" government bragging about the low unemployment rate & the next thing you hear on the news is that Centrelink staff are losing their jobs, becuase with the low unemployment figure they don't need the current staff numbers.

Your point, it seemed, was to criticise the Government for doign such a good job that they're putting people out of work, and that it was wrong of the Government to cut jobs that are no longer required.

Correct me if I'm wrong.
