Irony...

I think irony is hilarious (true irony that is- not the Alanis Morissette version). According to this really long website I found through Google (http://www.tnellen.com/cybereng/lit_terms/irony.html):

Irony is an implied discrepancy between what is said and what is meant.
Three kinds of irony:

1. verbal irony is when an author says one thing and means something else.
2. dramatic irony is when an audience perceives something that a character in the literature does not know.
3. irony of situation is a discrepancy between the expected result and actual results.

The other day I had a great experience with the third kind of irony. This older lady cashier I work with came back to the fabric department to purchase some random stuff. Nothing unusual happened until I looked at her shirt. It was an orange shirt she had decorated with the words "Bling Bling" written in neon-orange puff paint. Not what I expected from a little white lady.
