This morning I was not yet awake three hours when I stumbled upon three situations which struck me as being ironic.
1. As Russ and I talked over our shopping list, I mentioned that I needed bread, but wasn’t sure what brand I wanted, because the last time I bought Sara Lee bread, and I didn’t like it. Of course I immediately thought of the jingle…”Everybody doesn’t like something…But nobody doesn’t like Sara Lee…” Well, guess what? I don’t like Sara Lee’s bread. Which makes the jingle somewhat…ironic. Don’t you think?
2. A few moments later, we drove past the Waffle House and noted there were not many cars in the parking lot. However, any evening the Waffle House will be packed—in fact, the later into the evening it gets, the more packed the Waffle House. Of course we all know why: because Waffle House is where drunks typically go to sober up with coffee and carbs after a long night of partying. Still, it struck me as ironic that a restaurant which is named after and specializes in a breakfast food has very few customers at breakfast time, yet lots of customers at night.
3. At work, our customers may choose seminar materials on flash drive, or in printed format. Today, someone signed up for the seminar “Integrating Technology into your Law Practice,” and chose seminar materials in printed format. I wonder if this person is really ready to integrte technology into their practice? Well, maybe after taking our seminar they will be.
Just some observations about life. Things that make you go…hmmmm….
