Just a thought

Irony where is your sting?

just don't understand]

  1. Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation- Oscar Wilde

    That's my favourite qoutation, but most people don't get the joke.

  2. Sean, that is because, some minds are like a parachute, when it doesn't open, they are screwed for life! Irony will not save them.... :)

  4. I thought that it had a sting when used to beat you... or is that steely?

  5. Reading about irony, brought back that line from the SF writer, Robert Heinlein:
    "The supreme irony of life is that hardly anyone gets out of it alive."

    And that stings!

  6. C'est La Craic,
    Arguments are to be avoided: they are always vulgar and often convincing.Nevin,
    that's no irony - that's a fact. :)

    Jams,
    I don't get the joke [see Craic's comment] :)

    Claudia,
    I doubt that. :)

  7. You doubt what, Sean? It was quite daring to offer a quotation after what Oscar Wilde said. BTW, who is he?
