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!".'
