I'm out walking to the store to pick up some wine and things when someone from this Lexus SUV or of sorts, ( I think I was in Hillsboughro or Pacifica or somewhere....something or other………just to place setting) yells to me, "Jesus loves you" as they were waiting at the red light about to turn green when I replied, " yeah, oh heyyyyy, did you vote for Bush?"

Got anything Ironic?


Does'nt have to be political. It was the quickest example that I could come up with.( a nice Burner Irony wold be awesome but not absolute.)

Ok now that I did a thorough proof, spell check and all, let me say that there are some linking things to things of things with this topic that get totally funny on this board if you dig deep or come by it by chance. ( Not the politics………..even though……. ), But this board has some funny threads to it.
When and if you find them.


In fact this board can wear funny threads around me anytime.
