Man Charged On Account Of Gross Irony

Sometimes The Duke just gets a big warm glow all over his bone-cloth on account of the ridiculous foibles committed by mine peers.

Thanks to the news-reporting types over at Ananova, I just chuckled my way through a heart-warming story about a Louisiana fella and his unfortunate meeting with a local police.

Apparently the fella in question was having a good ol' chin-wag with the police, ie, chatting, talking, "shooting some shit" or whatever. The basis for his discussion was how stupid some criminals are.

Maybe he'd saw one of those shows on the television about World's Daftest Motherfuckers Caught On This Here Camera or something, maybe about a crook who cashed a cheque ten seconds before robbing the very same bank or something. Something utterly, shamefully ridiculous.

Unfortunately, this fella was a bit fond of the old ganja, weed, marijuana, puff, dope or whatever the current "street" term for the stuff what makes you go white and then fall asleep might be. He had a small amount of this particular narcotic on his being at the time, and the plastic bag what contained it was sticking out of his pocket.

The police took a second for to interrupt the conversation about how stupid some criminals are for to say, "Hey, hang on now just a damn second, is that the reefer I see in your pocket?"

The fella was promptly charged with the possession, like in The Exorcist, except this time concerning the drugs, rather than The Satan.

If she knew a damn thing about the concept of irony, Alanis Morrisette could write a song about how ironical this whole situation turned out to be. Maybe she could also comment on a fella what never got on a plane and then one day he gets on one, and then it crashes and his guts fly out. Or maybe a woman wants a knife, but wouldn't you know it, all she can find are ten thousand motherfucking spoons.

Irish comedian Ed Byrne, in fact, has made a career out of pointing out just how lacking in irony the song about Isn't It Ironic really is. The real irony, he concedes, is that a song called Ironic was written by someone with no concept of irony.

Like that song about Keep The Home Fires Burning. The woman what wrote that was killed when her house went on fire. That, my friends, is a true story.

And a little bit ironic, don't you think?
