Timely!
I just had a bizarre idea, which was to try to modify the lyrics of Alanis Morisette's "Ironic" to actually make the examples ironic. For instance:
It's like good advice that you just didn't take, when in fact you were going to do what your friend told you but decided not to specifically because they told you to and as a result, your dog is now dead.
It's like rain on your wedding day, when you decided to hold your wedding in Death Valley for the explicit purpose of avoiding rain.
It's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife - and you make knives for a living. You'd really think you'd have some lying around.
