Defining Irony…
This is from: Not Always Right
Me: “Thank you for calling the [hotel]. How may I direct your call?”
Customer: *in a British accent* “I need a room for tonight.”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but we are booked.”
Customer: “Why?”
Me: “It’s the 4th of July. We’re always booked on the 4th.”
Customer: “I know the date! Why are you booked?”
Me: “Um, it’s July 4th.”
Customer: “Listen, just give me a room!”
Me: “I’m sorry sir, we are sold out. The entire town is sold out.”
Customer: “The entire town? Why?”
Me: “Sir, it’s the 4th of July. Independence day.”
Customer: “Independence from what?”
Me: “Um, England.”
Customer: “Oh bloody h***!” *click*
It reminds me of my 4th of July this year... Spent it working for a company in the UK.
How do you define irony?
