Elaine: “It’s ironic.”
Woman: “What’s ironic?”
Elaine: “This. That we’ve come all this way, we made all this progress, but, you know, we lost the little things, the niceties.”
Woman: “No, I mean, what does `ironic’ mean?”

Well, today after the Yankees victory parade, I overheard a man say this:

“I loved that – how they put Rivera in the last float. He’s the best closer ever and they put him the last float at the end of the parade. You know, it’s ironic.”

A closer closing out a parade to celebrate the World Series that he helped to win. This event is irony only in the most ironic sense.
