I've been told in another thread that my sense of humor is faulty so could you explain what's funny about this? To me it just looks like a handicapped person died in a horrible accident.

No, it's not funny when someone dies.

But even if she couldn't hear the horn, wouldn't she still be able to feel the vibrations of a train approaching?

Should I feel bad that I laughed out loud

if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right?

Yeah, there is something ironic about a deaf person being struck by a train. Makes you think, if she wasn;t deaf, maybe she would have heard it. My sense of humor has a dark side to it :)

Of course, you do have to ask the question "what was she doing walking on the railines in the first place?

Irony
2: incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs;


A deaf person not hearing a horn and consequently being killed because of it isn't ironic at all. There's a very clear correlation between been deaf and not being able to hear a horn.

Walking down some rails and not getting out of the way because you're deaf and don't hear the horns is, in fact, amongst the lowest Irony Factors in the world. I'd give it a +10 on the International Irony Totally Misunderstood Scale though, so there's some consolation in that.

This has been a public service announcement by the People Against Irony Impairment. Ironically, we're totally against public service announcements.

I think perhaps this was a case of someone wanting to die.

Being deaf and walking on train tracks would be sure way to accomplish it.

In fact you don't have to deaf, even hearing people get killed walking on train tracks.

That was awesome. You a shining beacon to those of us who appreciate irony. REAL irony.

And isn't it ironic...dontcha think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
. . .

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic...dontcha think

But bill, I EXPECTED a knife and all there were were these goddamn spoons.

One of my favourite bits of radio DJ commentary ever was taking the piss out of that song.

"A traffic jam when you're already late? Thats not ironic, thats just bad planning! Real irony would be if you were a town planner arriving late to a conference detailing just how well you'd solved your city's congestion problems because you'd been stuck in traffic."

And so on. Course the delivery was a big part of what made it funny but you get the idea.

Do you want to have an ideagasm?

That would make a great .sig

I did too. It's sad tho. Wouldn't your head be on a swivel if you were deaf and on some train track? Darwins' theory maybe?___________________________________________________

Bill,

I can't remember what comedian it was, but she went off about this song. It was great.

"No its not ironic, its unfortunate. Whats ironic is that you're a song writer and don't own a damn dictionary."

It still makes me laugh.

If all you need is a knife and you have 10000 spoons and you cant get your marmite on ya toast you're an idiot.

This post should be deleted. It is tasteless and a slam on the hearing impaired. Finding humor and laughing at a persons misfortune is horrid. It is always a shame when someone so young is taken from those who love them. I see nothing to laugh about.

If you think that's funny, you should hear some of my Auschwitz jokes, they're a real gas!

Seriously, what is funny about this?
