Irony (not a poem)


The English spoken in Britain and the English spoken in America.
 
In England, if you step OFF the pavement you get run over by a lorry.
 
In America, if you step ONTO the pavement you get hit by a truck.

    Anyone who meets the afore mentioned standards needs to have their genes removed from the pool.

    At a road block in Northern Ireland, "Mam, What have ye in ye boot?" "Me foot!"

      my genes are by the side of the pool, on a recliner, being brought cool drinks by a cool blonde in heels. My genes are the ones with the Silhouette Titanium 8568s and the laconic expression...

    depends on who's driving....(kidding)
    But seriously I just saw a woman on the evening news that pulled out of her driveway, slammed the gass and wound up half way up and into her neighbors house...
    I like the irony, just not on my tv news... Excellent and ironic comparison.

    OH MY GOSH...

    This is jolly well true! How astute of you, good poet person. I thought about it and it went right into my brain.

      And you have restored my faith in Americans. Over here America is referred to as "the irony-free zone"!
