So I Heard Irony Kicked Your Ass Last Night


Not so long ago, two friends of mine went to the bar (No, it wasn't a priest and a rabbi). As they walked out into the parking lot, one was teasing the other about his horrible luck with his car (it's been broken into 2 or 3 times throughout the period of just a few weeks, and has had numerous mechanical problems). The friend who was so quick to mock was quickly put in his place though, as at that very moment he witnessed a drunk driver pull out from the parking spot right beside the aforementioned, unlucky vehicle, and swerve directly into his own automobile. Not very much damage, I believe, but plenty of hilarity.

On hearing this story the day after, my new favorite phrase was born: 'So I heard irony kicked your ass last night.' I haven't gotten too many chances to use it though... Until I read about this today:

"A newly opened restaurant called Car Crash has had to close down - after a car crashed into the building."

It gets better. The owner named the restaurant Car Crash because there were never automobile accidents in that area.

Irony: 1
Restaurant owner: 0

Car crashes into Car Crash

FYI: No one was hurt in the accident.
