Too much Wisconsin beer on that boat.

Alfred Hitchcock was the best at irony. He wrote a short story of two tanker truck drivers broke down enroute to LasVegas in the summer time. Both died when their water canteens were empty. The did not know the 1000 gallon tank was full of fresh water!

Agree this is getting political. I'm leaving these posts in for now but any further posts along this line will be deleted (along with the three I am leaving for now).

I freaking LOVED watching Alfred Hitchcock Presents when I was a kid,and recently wanted them all again on local broadcast tv. He would walk out on the stage and say "Good Evening" and I would start cracking up. Most 50's tv sucks,and we only thought it was good because we had nothing to compare it to,but shows like his and Groucho Marx "You Bet Your Life" will still be great 100 years from now.

This literary figure of speech is not understood by most people who think it means "something unusual went wrong"! Irony is when an intended action resulted in the opposite response!

Dammit, quit making a nonpolitical example of irony into a political statement, that in itself is an example of mis used irony!!!

Politics are banned on the off-topic board?????

 

Why even bother to have one? After all,politics dominate all our lives in practically every area you can think of.
