Well…what the hell can you do but laugh and shake your head at something like this?
This ranks up there with the Klucker who fired the gun in the air, wounding one of his fellow assholes.
Gee, he gave up smoking 35 years ago and was testifying against a rather idiotic law, and some people can find irony in it.
So it’s not ironic that someone says he’s healthy as an ox and smoking hasn’t done him any harm and then he keels over from a heart attack?
Get a grip.
As far as irony goes, saying you’re healthy and then subsequently dying works. The smoking is irrelevent, considering that he hasn’t smoked in decades.
I think it’s quite a perfect example of irony. When something happens that isn’t expected, that’s the definition of irony.
As opposed to, say, rain on a wedding day… or a thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.
Goddammit! Where did all of these spoons come from?! All I needed was a knife.
Oh, USCDiver, I think the number is ten thousand spoons. 
Except for the fact that he spends his mornings sitting at a table full of smokers, inhaling second-hand smoke, which is the point of the ordinance? You mean that irrelevance? 
What a story.
Homer’s Oddity?
There is no knife.
Sorry.
But what about this black fly in my Chardonnay? Oh yeah, I don’t drink Chardonnay. I much prefer Merlot.
But I did quit smoking.
And now, a toast to the memory of Bob Keys. May your years be long, your tears be short and your smokes be non-filtered!
