Ha. This reminds me of the Seinfeld routine when he talks about the friend everybody has who just doesn't get irony or sarcasm. You know the kind of guy, you're in the gym, you've had a great workout, and you say something like "Man, I feel awesome. I bet I could take on Superman right now." And this guy looks at you like you're an idiot and sneers: "Oh, please. Superman would kick your ass." You know that kind of guy?Are you having trouble recognizing irony in writing, without the benefit of non-verbal clues?
