Irony

            Let me start by staying, I hate irony. Well, I’m okay with reading irony, but I don’t really want to write a story about irony (that includes a teacher, fuse box, and lab, as per instructions). Like most people, I don’t feel like I have a very good grasp on what irony exactly is and how it differs from other literary devises.
            So can I get by with saying, “A teacher and his class went to a field trip at a battery laboratory, but the trip was in vain because the building’s electricity was out. They would have looked for the fuse box, but their flashlights had no batteries. The workers could not take the batteries from the boxes ready to be sent out not only because they were already bought but also because they were all the wrong size.”? That seems like a pretty ironic story, right? Just say yes to make me feel better about myself.

But if you do want to learn about irony, I really like this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYq2d7iKKhk I find it to be funny and informative.
