SAN FRANSISCO MAN BECOMES FIRST AMERICAN TO GRASP SIGNIFICANCE OF
IRONY
Yesterday, Jay Fullmer, 38, became the first American to get to
grips with the concept of irony.
"It was weird," Fullmer says. "I was in London and, like, talking to
this guy and it was raining and he pulled a face and said "Great
weather, eh?" and I thought "Wait a minute, no way is it great
weather!"
Fullmer then realised that the other man's mistake was, in fact,
deliberate. Fullmer, who is married with two children aged eight and
three, plans to use irony himself in the future.
"I'm using it all the time," he says. "Last weekend I was grilling
steaks. I burned them to a crisp and said "Hey, great weather!"
