Isn't it ironic? (part 4)

The other day my friend told me I don't know what ironic means, which was ironic because we were at the beach at the time.

Editor: "Charles, then I suspect your friend was right, because irony has nothing to do with the beach."
Charles: "Yes, I know. I was just being ironic."

Anyway, it's National Irony Day today (October 12th, for the benefit of anyone who is reading this blog post in the future), so this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog features another round-up of ironic photos, comments and observations.

As I'm sure everyone is aware, October 12th is National Irony Day! Actually, most people probably aren't aware of that. I was being ironic!

"I'm sure I'll be safe sitting with my head like this...

Anyway, in honour of National Irony Day here's another round-up of irony themed thoughts and observations...

1) Does anyone find it ironic that the word 'hyphenated' is non-hyphenated, while the word 'non-hyphenated' is hyphenated?



2) In 1974 the US government produced 80,000 buttons to promote toy safety. They had to recall them as they contained lead paint, the edges were too sharp, and they were a choking hazard!

Believe it or not, October 12th is National Irony Day, so in honour of this 'special day' this week's blog post has an ironic theme to it...

headquarters in London, UK Langley, Virginia...
