Isn't it ironic? (part 3)

Nowadays we have national days to celebrate anything and everything, and perhaps one of the most unusual national days of them all is National Irony Day which is celebrated on October 12th. So in honour of National Irony Day, here is another round-up of ironic thoughts and observations.

1) Ironic card


Best teacher ever? With spelling like that, they clearly can't be that good a teacher.


"Your You're the best teacher ever."

Poor spelling! See me!




2) Ironic fame


Owls are one of nature's quietest hunters, yet they are famous for the noise they make.




3) Ironic politician


Here's a photo of the former Belgian Health Minister which is presented without comment...

4) Ironic justice


An ISIS leader was teaching a class on how to behead prisoners when a sniper shot his head off! Talk about ironic justice!


"In a stroke of irony, a sniper from elite British Special Air Service (S.A.S.) took the head off an ISIS leader who was teaching recruits how to behead prisoners."




5) Ironic language


If you're wondering how to say 'non-binary' in Spanish...

There are two ways to say 'non-binary' in Spanish.

Feminine: No binaria
Masculine: No binario


Top respect to the Spanish langauge for mocking the insane people who think there are seventy three sexes.*

* At the time of writing. If you're reading this a few years later, that number may have increased to several hundred.



Apartments.
Perhaps they should be called 'togetherments'.

6) Ironic word


Why are apartments called apartments when they're all stuck together?



7) Ironic name


Two of the most miserable people on television are ironically named Joy!


Joy: "Bah, humbug!"




8) Ironic invention


Nobody knows who invented the fire hydrant, because the patent was destroyed in a fire!




9) Ironic advertising slogan


Finally, here's a classic example of irony.

Whoever was driving this car could do with getting their eyes tested.

"Should have gone to Specsavers. Oh, wait..."
