A new book reveals that a member of MI6, the British spy agency, discovered during WWI that semen makes excellent invisible ink, and often deployed it in the field. The name of the man who discovered this? Mansfield Cumming.

Amirali Raissnia responded:

That's actually coincidental, not ironic. It would be ironic if his name was Girlsford Lamclit.

Flaubert:

Smartass...

I didn't know you went to school as Alanis Morissette.

A "black fly in my Chardonnay" is ironic if and only if the black fly preferred Cabernet Sauvignon.

But damn! Amirali beat me to it and said it better.

Flaubert:

...implied descrepancy between what is meant and what is said--but you're both right in this case...it would have had to be purposeful. So, I guess I really love coincidence. And Bededo, irony is a major wine label and I'm pretty sure they make both Cabernet and Chardonnay.

BededoBedado:

That would be "discrepancy".
