You could have bought a decent one for a lot less

An I would have been a just as happy with a lot less. I was happy with my Suzuki 550GL circa late 70's (?)...

The way you said it - I picture you out on the front porch on a wooden chair, chewing tobacco and spitting it out, drinking home made moonshine - wife inside making blueberry pie, red gingham curtains at the window - a bit like the Waltons

Actually that's pretty darn close (for where I'm at anyways)

Do you sit on the front porch with the banjo strumming Dan?

*starts the deliverance banjo music*

Actually I love bluegrass, and I love to pick me a good tune from time to time. Usually an Alison Krauss number.

I thought smoking that was illegal in your country, it's very kind of Alison to skin up for you though

Them old country boys are a law unto themselves, they'll smoke anything - anyway the US cops don't mind, they're all corrupt and on the take anyway.

SAN FRANCISCO MAN BECOMES FIRST AMERICAN TO GRASP SIGNIFICANCE OF IRONY


SAN FRANCISCO - The Daily Telegraph spoke to Jay Fullmer, 38, who
became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony
yesterday.

'It was weird,' Fullmer said, 'I was in London and, like, talking to
this guy and it was raining and shit and he said, like, "great
weather!", or something like that.'

Said Fullmer: 'And I thought - wait a minute, it's like, no way is it
great weather.'

Fullmer soon realised that the other man's "mistake" was deliberate.

'This guy was pretty cool about it,' Fullmer said.

Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and
3, planned to use irony himself in future.

'I'm like saying it all the time.' he said. 'Last weekend I was like
grilling steaks and I like burned them to shit, so I turned to everyone
and I said "great weather!".'

So I suppose there is hope for everybody then

Seems he was trying to divert attention - so he did get 'it'...

From Wikipedia for Ken

Verbal irony is traditionally defined as the use of words to convey something other than, and especially the opposite of, the literal meaning of the words. One classic example is a speaker saying, “What lovely weather we are having!” as she looks out at a rainstorm intending to express her dissatisfaction with the weather.

This is of course only one form of irony.

Yes, it seems sarcasm is still the lowest form of wit

I was looking for nothing and I found it - Ironic
