Simply post the various ironic things you've encountered. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

My eternal nemesis is a Samurai, and yet my own father is a Samurai, who trained my eternal nemesis. He actually has my father's sword, so if he ever tries to chop of my head...man, I'll die of irony overload before the sword ever touches me.

I surround myself with females as friends, but I can't keep a girlfriend to save my life.

It's ironic that sodomy and homosexuality used to be crimes, punishable by incarceration - resulting in you being locked in a room full of men and sodomized.

Good ones, guys - that "Fitness" one reminds me of how people go into McD's, order this gigundo hamburger, fries, etc... and a diet coke.

Charles Drew, pioneer of blood transfusiob techniques died of blood loss after a car crash. Rumour has it he was denied a transfusion at the first hospital he was taken to on account of being black.
