The teacher is in front of the class and she's asks her students, "Does anyone have an example of irony they can share with the class?"
Emily raises her hand and is called upon. "My brother is as fat as a pig."
"No, Emily." said the teacher. "That is a simile."
Bruno raises his hand and is called upon and says, "The wind smells of apple blossoms."
The teacher shakes her head and says, "Sorry, Bruno, but that is not irony. It is a metaphor."
Tom raises his hand and says, "The horse ran faster than a space ship can fly."
Again the teacher shook her head and said, "Tom that is not ironic. It is an exaggeration."
Finally the teacher has no choice but to call on L'il Johnny who has been waving his hand furiously since she initially asked her question.
"Yes, John." said the teacher.
"My sister is pregnant!" said L'il Johnny.
"Well." said the teacher. "That might be good or bad news. Given your family history it might even be a tragedy for the unborn child. However, it is not irony.'
"That's weird," said L'il Johnny. "Cuz my Dad it was ironic because she got laid on a pull out couch."

Thanks for the humor. It has been a while since he shared some of that here and many other places. Sometimes it is good to not take ourselves too seriously and just learn that acceptance is a SOB and we have 20 seconds for self pity and we get off our duffs and back to work and life.
As the little boy cried out when he was throwing manure out of the room with his bare hands. With all this poop there has to be a pony in here somewhere. We need to remember what we are looking for and deal with all the "stuff" that gets in our path while looking.

saw this the other day, and liked it
a gingerbread man sits in a gingerbread house............
and he wonders...is he made of house, or is the house made of flesh?
and he screams...because he doesn't know.
