Irony? In Arkansas

By Anonymous Coward Posted Friday 27th April 2007 19:08 GMT

It could be irony, but with all that's coming out of the USA recently, the odds are against it. The percentage of Americans who could pronounce it, spell it and know what irony means is a declining figure. Half the country runs on faith, not logic or knowledge.

Maybe you should check Snopes before taking things so seriously next time!

Route 40!

How do you know that the toothbrush was invented in Arkanses?

By Eric Grigg Posted Friday 27th April 2007 19:43 GMT

Because if it was invented anywhere else, it would have been called a "teethbrush"

Arkansas

Just in case the rest of the world has not been familiarized with Arkansas, they should be aware that any conspiracy theories coming out of that particular location can generally be discarded.

It is very possibly that this theory originated from bottle of old home brew and a conversation with a tree on a hot day.

Irony?

Why don`t Americans have a sense of humour?

Because they think irony is the same as silvery or coppery.

Amazing what people believe in these days... particularly the global warming chaps. Biggest conspiracy ever.

Weren't they the same group that proposed sending the solar probe at night to keep it from burning up from the suns heat?

Here's your irony

What's ironic is that all those superior intellects explaining the writer's lack of irony, fail to notice that it is clearly not meant to be taken seriously.

This daylight savings joke is as old as time.

Ah, yes. The delicous odor of intellectual honesty. No one across the pond paints with large strokes when decribing America. The Old World is too erudite and sophisticated for such sweeping generalizations.

note: This is sarcasm, seeing as irony is not in my arsenal of American humor I couldn't come up with anything ironic. Oops, there's a bit more sarcasm. Sorry.
