Irony

I find it ironic that the solution to a math problem is more math! That's like saying the solution to fire is more fire. I know for a fact that that is not the solution to fire.
What do you find ironic?

Fire actually works as a solution to fire, because enough fire will burn away enough oxygen to starve said fire.

But on your topic. Irony can come in these forms.

A wrestling coach who teaches a health class (people in wrestling are often starving themselves to lose weight in time for a match).

A fat person who teaches physical fitness.

~~Your face~~ When government legislators score worse on American history and government tests than average students (can't find the study right now, sorry).

A math final where there are two complete sets of problems, but only one set of answers.

A scene where a character says "What a nice doggy!" while petting a cat.

Or a cold and bitter cup of hot chocolate.

Or when Roy Bannon talks about how glad he is that he didn't invest in Automobiles.

�It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.�

Or when you pretend to not know what a troll is talking about, and bait them into proving that they're trolling by having them explain what they're trying to trollbait you with.

It's also Ironic that Situational Irony is the only Irony some people think about these days.

You just divided by Zero didn't you?

Steel is very ironic. Carbon-y too.

No, but seriously, I find it ironic when you join a forum you haven't lurked yet and immediately discover that everyone, up to and including the moderators of all people, enjoy trolling the new guy.

(This happened today. And no, it wasn't on any of the chans.)
