Jose Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Years of frustration with unsuccessfully trying to explain the term "irony" to Thais, may finally come to an end today: Possible rain (KPG) on Songkran day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 "...a free ride when your already there" That's not irony, just bad timing. "10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife" That's only ironic if you don't work in a spoon factory. "Its like rain on your wedding day" Only if you are marrying a weather man, and he set the wedding date (Ed Byrne). "Rain on Songkran day" Waiting a whole year to play water games, and then it pours down - now, *that* would be irony... Irony is the fireman's house burning down; Crossing the street, getting hit by an ambulance; Pro-lifers supporting the death penalty; Honking to show you love peace and quiet; Not having a single ironic joke in the movie "IronMan"; Good judgment coming from bad experience.
