Horrible Ironies?

liah

I had a big black dog named Guinness. She was absolutely the coolest dog you'd ever meet, my best mate. Loved her to bits, as only the people who've had their own dog can understand.

Lo and behold, she died of liver disease.

I name my fecking dog after an alcohol, and she dies of liver disease.

What's the most horrible irony you've experienced, the kind you feel really guilty for finding funny due to the subject matter?

I think the woman who survived the Air France plane disaster because she missed the plane and then got killed in a car accident a few days later is a hard one to beat.:rolleyes:

They sterilize the needle for lethal injections? , How ****ing ironic is that.

Hardly ironic, she just needed to reach her final destination.

The Times

June 12, 2009 01:32pm

AN Italian woman who arrived late for the Air France plane flight that crashed in the Atlantic last week has been killed in a car accident.
Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from Bolzano-Bozen province, had been on holiday in Brazil with her husband Kurt and missed Air France Flight 447 after turning up late at Rio de Janeiro airport on May 31, London's The Times reports.

All 228 people aboard lost their lives after the plane crashed into the Atlantic four hours into its flight to Paris.

The ANSA news agency reported that the couple had managed to pick up a flight from Rio the following day.

It said that Ms Ganthaler died when their car veered across a road in Kufstein, Austria, and swerved into an oncoming truck.

Her husband was seriously injured.

They do that both for the safety of the doctor and just incase the execution is called off.

No idea why I know that :rolleyes:

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out


Before there is 100 different posts of lines from this song i thought i might aswell save you the bother

None of that is ironic, it's just bloody unfortunate.

The song Ironic contains no irony. That's pretty ironic.

I was hoping that you were going to say that he ended up staying a few nights back in prison due to you not being able to find anywhere for him.

That is certainly not an ironic comment.:D

define irony:

"a bunch of idiots dancing around on a plane, to a song made famous by a band that died in a plane crash"

This one is pretty horrible I think.

The English Education minister recently had one of his internal e mails published in the papers. It was littered with spelling and grammatical errors.

Also, there're the pro lifers who make their point by murdering Doctors who carry out abortions. That's always struck me as ironic.
