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.

To start things off, here's a statue to celebrate freedom, locked behind a chain fence.

Dead Man's Switch

Dead Man's Switch
by Charles Fudgemuffin

Exciting news! My latest book 'Dead Man's Switch' was released this week!

To promote it, this week the Charles Fudgemuffin blog takes a lighthearted look at the subject of death, starting with an optimistically accurate Japanese word...

1) In Japanese, the kanji for 'widow' translates as 'not dead yet person'.




2) I helped my friend hide a dead body.

He said, "Thanks."

I said, "Don't mention it."

Legal disclaimer: The above story is a work of fiction for the purposes of making a joke. In reality, my friend is extremely ungrateful, and would never say thank you.
