Little Ironies of Life

Tweet

Have you ever thought sometimes there are little ironies in life. Take this simple one between a short person and a tall person. If you are short and you ask a tall person to help you reach something up high this is considered to be very helpful to the short person. But if, on the other hand a tall person were to ask a short person to pick something up low for them, this would be considered an insult to the short person. Don't you dare actually means "do not you dare," but if you said it that way people would look at you funny. These also remind me of some funny observations the famous comedian Gallagher used to make about certain words. For example, we drive on a parkway but park on a driveway. A building that is already built is called a building instead of a built. Is it odd that our nose can run and smell and so can our feet? An ass can be a clown, a donkey, a jerk or a nice thing to admire. That is all, now onward and upward to the rest of your day.
