Who's the Marquis of Queensbury? Some fag hairdresser? JUST KIDDING!!! More British humor (such as it is). Do all Brits misspell San Francisco? SAN FRANSISCO MAN BECOMES FIRST AMERICAN TO GRASP SIGNIFICANCE OF IRONY An American grappling with significance of irony SAN FRANSISCO - Herdofsheep spoke to Jay Fullmer, 38, who became the first American to get to grips with the concept of irony yesterday. "It was wierd," 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. "Weekend last I was like grilling steaks and I like burned them to shit and I said 'great weather'." herdofsheep.com
