    a long time ago there was an episode of 'the Outer Limits' there was a man that just wanted to read, but his annoying wife and work kept him from reading. He went into a vault to find a hiding spot to read and when he came out there had been a holocaust and he was the last person alive. He now had all the time in the world to read, and then his glasses broke... The best example I could think of.

    A man goes into a bank to commit a robbery.

    He hands the teller a note stating "give me all the cash and no one will be hurt".

    Instead of giving the bandit the money, the teller writes on the note............

    "Hurt? my boyfriend left me and 8 kids with nothing. here is your note back and no money for you".

    Shocked, the bank robber leaves empty-handed.

    This was not the outcome the robber expected.

    That the irony of robbing a bank with a teller thats just been dumped.
