Am I living in a Monty Python skit?

Irony is one of my favorite forms of humor. Even though it’s subtle and easily missed; it never occurred to me that it was a uniquely American concept. Since moving to Australia, I have realized that some cultures are completely oblivious to irony.

To prove my point, check out the campaign slogan for this Alice Springs mayoral candidate.

The ironic part is that the guy is blind! We’re talking dark glasses, white cane & guide dog blind. He can’t share what he doesn’t have!
