A cheese burger and diet coke.....

How about Jumbo Shrimp..

I have to think a while, but where have you been all day, young lady???

Years ago I would have said Military Intelligence, but then I spent 15 years working for the MI guys, and liked them very much, so no.

On-Time Remodel?

You guys are thinking more along the lines of Oxy-morons.
I'm talking more about irony.

another oxymoron is "organized mess".

Here's another example of irony:
a very young girl driving a Cougar.
an arthritic man driving a Ford Flex.

A "lady of the evening" taking her Ford Escort in to be serviced.

An exterminator service guy driving a VW Bug.
We actually have one of these near here.

There is also a company logo on the side of a van.
It says: The Blind Lady. She installs window dressings
but it is still funny to say, "There goes The Blind Lady."

I was wondering when someone was going to point out the irony versus oxymoron point. I was too lazy.

Pooh, about 60 or so years ago I was riding with my older brother and we came up behind a truck that had a sign painted on the back. The sign said Caution: Blind Man Driving. We were very curious about it and my brother passed him and we saw another sign that said XXXX's Window Blind Company.

So what goes around comes around, and there's nothing new under the sun.

One my mother loved was a cartoon of an extremely messy house, kids tearing the place apart, and slovenly housewife sitting on an equally messy couch, reading "Good Housekeeping"

My MIL was famous for having her coffee with artificial sweetener and cream. No sugar but plenty of fat.

All I can think of when I see that word 'irony' is a t-shirt in a recent catalog. It says..."Irony....the opposite of Wrinkly". Makes me laugh.

An agoraphobic driving a Honda Odeyssey? Though that doesn't quite fit the bill.

Offering this old cheapskate a penny ...

... for his thoughts?

P.S. If a guy/gal that drives a truck is called a "trucker" ...

... careful about driving a Bug, O.K.?

There's a bar close by that has a sign out front that says "Live Nude Dancers". Is that opposed to "Dead Nude Dancers?" LOL

My ex- who, as second-head of food service in a substantial hospital for about 4 years, and head of it for something like 20 years, had fed several million people, then took early retirement (when there was talk of closing that hospital) ...

... contracting cancer of the gut ... and dying of it.

When she was 66 ... and the kids were thankful that she'd taken early retirment and had had 120 years (dratted keyboards - the idea in my mind was "10 years"!) to have had a ball ... rather than having retired the year before.

Funny you should ask. Today my friend who is a HS teacher posted this on her FB wall.

Me: "I want to get that poster, 'There are no stupid questions but there are a lot of inquisitive idiots.'"
Student: "What does inquisitive mean?"
Me: "Irony."
