So sind die Menschen. Oft scheint es wirklich schade, daß Noah die Arche nicht verpaßt hat.

Manchmal ist es besser, den Mund zu halten, selbst wenn die Leute sich dann fragen, ob sie es mit einem Narren zu tun haben, als ihn aufzumachen und ihnen jeden Zweifel zerstreuen.
Mark Twain

A woman was shaking out a rug on the balcony of her 17th floor condominium when a sudden gust of wind blew her over the railing. "Damn, that was stupid," she thought as she fell. "What a way to die."
As she passed the 14th floor, a man standing at his railing caught her in his arms. While she looked at him in disbelieving gratitude, he asked, "Do you suck?" "No!" she shrieked, aghast.
So, he dropped her.
As she passed the 12th floor, another man reached out and caught her. "Do you screw?" he asked.
"Of course not!" she exclaimed before she could stop herself. He dropped her, too.
The poor woman prayed to God for one more chance. As luck would have it, she was caught a third time, by a man on the eighth floor. "I suck! I screw!" she screamed in panic. "Slut!" he said, and dropped her.

I'm seriously going to brutalize you until your anus and mouth reverse their functions!

Irony can be a tricky thing. The technical definition of irony isn't exactly the same as it is commonly accepted in today's culture. What's odd is that, written out, its definition seems rather straight-forward: "Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs." (from the American Heritage Dictionary).

As you may have heard, the "ironies" in Alanis Morissette's song aren't ironies. A fly in your drink isn't irony, it's just an inconvenience. Dying after you win the lottery isn't irony, it's just sad. So on and so on. The problem I have is that I can imagine ways in which some of those instances could be irony. For example, wouldn't you expect your wedding day not to be raining? But then I suppose you'd have to go into more detail on what is meant by expected, versus imagined or believed or something similar.

One thing is pretty clear about that song though. If, indeed, there are no true ironies in the song, that would be irony, since you would expect a song called "Ironic" to have ironies in it.

So, in today's comic, I believe it would be ironic for the double-crosser to get double-crossed, since you would expect him to be the one doing the double-crossing. And I think, though I'm not sure on this one, that Dr. Wily claiming it's not ironic when it is may be ironic itself, hence today's title. But don't take my word for it.
