Irony & Sarcasm

A lot of humor these days.................well, good humor at least................ has a lot of irony and sarcasm embedded in it.

Like rain on your wedding day,
Like a free ride when you've already paid,
Like good advice that you just didn't take,
.....................and 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.........

............and like sublimely quoting a very popular song that probably no one will actually know.....

Either way, intelligent humor takes more than a mediocre mind to be worthwhile.
Its a fact -- stupid people don't like smart humor.
Why??

Because they don't understand it!! DUH!!

Besides, research shows that sarcasm is indeed widely believed to be an evolutionary survival skill. It takes intelligence to understand sarcasm and dumb people just don't get sarcastic humor.

Anywayz - today we mourn the passing of one of the great comedic geniuses of our time -
George Carlin.


While he was capable of incredibly versatile acting, he was known for his outrageous comedy.
Anyone who knows anything about comedians knows his famous routine, "7 Words"
It was all about the 7 words that are taboo to say on public radio/TV :
shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits

Genius!!

This was before Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy - both legends as well.

Oh well............either way, RIP George Carlin.

But, here's a story that even George would find beautiful irony in:

A convicted sex offender won a $57 million lottery!!!


What!??!!

YEAH!!!!!

Not only is this guy a registered sex offender, but he was also guilty of breaking and entering.

How's THAT for irony, eh?????
