Verbal, Situational, Dramatical, and Grammatical Irony

My freshmen have invented a new type of irony - dramatical irony. (You know, it follows. Verbal...situational...dramatical...they just like tossing "al"s on the ends of things.) But anyway, some other perhaps not ironic, but at least funny, bloopers from tests and papers.

In freshman autobiographical papers:
“My family decided to visit Dordt County , WI.” Later in the same paper: “Dork County, WI.” (I like this one because she spells it wrong....in different ways!!!)
Not really a blooper but just funny: “We decided we needed to ask for help, but it was challenging because I thought any male or average looking female was a potential rapist or kidnapper.” (Apparently really below average-looking females were safe.)
“Giving is sacrificing without respecting anything in return.” (If that's your philosophy, that explains a lot.)
“The irony is that he figured out he killed his bother.” (Yeah, I hate it when I kill my bother.)
“His name was Dr. Lorin Brown. He was a male doctor just to clear up any confusion about his name.”
“He came over to me and asked what happened so I told him how I dropped from the pole and my foot landed on my back.” (An anatomical challenge.)

In sophomore compare and contrast papers:
“One example of rhyme is ‘I know that we’re together even though we’re far apart.’ The ‘together’ and ‘apart’ rhymes.” (In what dimension does this rhyme?)
“God is seen as one who disserves all of our attention.” (Yes, some of you act like that.)

Overheard in class:
“We need to be self-reliant on God.” (That is the Sunday School answer for the self-reliant Transcendentalists.)

And last, but not least, my personal favorite:
"As I walked past the bathroom, something caught my detention."

Laugh today!
