Yesterday history class was rather amusing. Some how the topic of irony came up.

First off the teacher, Proffesor Cotts (initials jc for short, much to his amusement) is an interesting character who in many ways resembles how Tim would be if he was a snobbier medievilist. Any way he went off on a tangent about the song irony.

I.E.
Its like a fly in your chardonay
blah blah isn't it ironic
etc...

And he explained how it was interesting because none of the things she lists are ironic. Unfortunate circumstances yes, but not ironic. In fact the truly ironic part is that she took time to write a whole song about irony when "she doesn't even know what the fuck irony means" (the fuck bit was sort of muttered under his breath). I laughed. Then we continued talking about the "boobonic" plague. It was one of my stranger class meetings I must say...
