"Irony can be pretty ironic sometimes."

There's nothing like the sweet taste of irony, especially the unintentional variety. So post your ironic photos here.

I'll start.

Irony ... reminds me of something I read in a Hemmingway novel once, "Irony and empathy are the best two things for breakfast", or something like that.  Problem is, I have searched and searched and cannot find that quote, or something to the equivilent, anywhere online.  Did I think I read that but didn't?  Could I have made my own quote unknowingly?  This has been driving me mad for years!  rolling  Willy Nilly

He who drives in and drives out without letting the motor cool, may see, to be sure, some most interesting natural objects, but he will not know, and can never love, Big Bend.
