I was working out and listening to a little Alanis Morissette and I thought to myself, isn’t this ironic – I am a singer and while I am working out, I am listening to another singer and somewhere in the world there was someone else working out while listening to one of my songs…(at least I hope there is.)
Life is full of ironies. Sometimes the irony is an old law that is still on the books.
- In Maryland a woman cannot go through her husband’s pockets while he is sleeping. Not even if she really wants a piece of gum or “borrow” $200 for a new pair of sneakers
- In Tucson, Arizona, women are not allowed to wear pants. No word on the stance on booty shorts,thongs or going commando.
- In Carrizozo, New Mexico, it is illegal for a woman to appear unshaven under their arms in public. Why doesn’t Manhattan have such a law on its books – just sayin’
Other ironies are just a fact of life.
- Everyone has a photographic memory to some degree. However my manager Mr. Bricks doesn’t appear to have any film.
- Whenever I need to use a flashlight my batteries are dead. Whenever I need a battery I am out of that size of battery. This irony holds true for light bulbs.
- It was recently discovered that doing research caused cancer in rats.
- Keeping up with Kardashians is called a reality series, but nothing about it reflects reality at all.
I have also noticed that the muckery in my life is filled with ironies.
- I eat healthy, work out and I am in good health. My manager Mr. Bricks eats Mc Ribs at McDonald’s, doesn’t work out and his blood pressure is higher than the national debt.
- It was 60° the other day in New York so I started putting away my gloves, uggs and puffy winter jacket and I was going to bring out the spring sneakers. Yesterday it snowed 8 inches and the high was only about 10 degrees.
- I am Greek and Blonde, yet I still have a good coconut on my shoulders.
- Days I plan on running errands I get called for meetings and auditions. On days I have nothing to do and would like an audition the phone never rings.
I have a manager with one lazy eye. But I do not yet have a record deal….isn’t that ironic?

irony is one of the most important tools for philosophy …
P.S.:
as a guitarist I had to play for my daughter, a hobby singer, very often that title of
Alanis Morissette

Um, Ava…I live in Arizona, and I’ve been to Tuscon a lot, and well…I’ve seen women all over the place wearing pants. I wore pants. I have an aunt who lives there and wears pants all the time. Am I missing something here?

Tia, there are a lot of really old laws that are still on the books, but are no longer enforced and now many, many years later they seem really silly.

Thanks Ava. I was thinking it was something like that (because Flagstaff, Arizona has that law to, that I know of but it’s not enforced), but wanted to make sure. I couldn’t imagine seeing all the women in Tucson wearing skirts and dresses. It would be pure torture lol.

Sounds like some of your Ironies need to be pressed….

Do you mean Freshly Pressed? I’d be up for that!

I personally think the majority of your posts are Freshly Pressed worthy, and others definitely better than what they pick for Freshly Pressed! Keep it coming, Ava! hehe 😀

The only irony in Alanis Morissette’s song is the fact that she appears unable to grasp the concept of irony. Not that I dislike the song, but rain on your wedding day, traffic jams when you’re late, not ironic, just unfortunate.
And research causes cancer in rats? That’s a chilling statement if true. I hope you just mean cancer research and not any research at all 🙂
Thanks for stopping by Thumbles! 🙂 Feel free to comeback anytime.
