The USA comedians that make us laugh here understand irony and after a few years get reasonably good at it
If you can access it on line look at 'Mock the week' bitter irony at its best.

This may help..

Humor is always a matter of point of view:
Jerome Rodale is known as the founder of the organic food revolution. As a naturalist, he promoted clean living. He was a huge advocate of the life-extending benefits of organic lifestyle. At the age of 72, he died of a heart attack after claiming in an interview that he is fit enough to reach his 100th birthday.
Jim Fixx, was the writer of the 1977 bestseller "The Complete Book of Running". He was an advocate of the longevity effects of running and even made a fortune out of his fitness campaigns. One day, Fixx had a fatal heart attack while he was running
And who could forget the recent death of Steve Irwin, the eccentric and beloved Australian naturalist that hosted a number of wildly popular TV shows? In his career, he had traveled the globe to unravel an adventure in exploring the animal kingdom. In 2006, while swimming above an adult sting ray, the 8-inch barb of the ray's tail hit Irwin's heart, which led to his death.

Man those are classics Mike!
...and that is funny John!
A bit like the McDonald's sign in America I heard of - posted outside the toilets for the blind, reading 'No guide dogs allowed'. Can't remember who it was I heard that from, but as they said: 'who the hell are they expecting to read it?!!!'
Also enjoyed a photo (from 'Life' magazine I think) of a sign on a highway overpass reading 'IGNORE THIS SIGN'

Don't laugh too hard, man. Here in the states people have "guide" dogs for not only blindness, but diabetes, seizures, emotional problems, inability to pay their rent, failure to graduate 6th grade, tight fitting shoes, soiled underwear, jobs that require you to actually show up, help finding the Cheetos, etc. I know for a fact that Safeway and Alaska Airlines allow "guide" dogs in their store and on their airplanes. AND... they are not allowed to ask for licensed proof! So all you dumbeffers that pay to have your dog shipped when traveling, just lie like everybody else and bring it on board and sit in your lap.

I'd rather sit next to a dog on an airplane than many of the humans I run across. At least they normally respond to a shush and a sit command.

Or, since they are not really guide dogs and are actually some old lady's little yippy dog, listen to the goddam thing bark and yap the whole flight. And I frankly don't like animals where I buy my food. At least the licensed dogs are very well trained.

Now that was an education Matt... I've never heard of anyone except the blind needing guide dogs! Is that purely a 'States thing, or have I just never seen anyone in the other categories using them on my travels?

Matt speaks true though they are generally refered to as "Companion Dogs". By law they cannot be banned from any public place under the American's with Disabilities Act. This includes restaurants, supermarkets, public transportation, etc. Not to say that some businessses do not ban these animals. I have a friend (blind) with a guide dog who was told to leave a business because of the dog.

Oh yeah, I can't stand this "comfort dog" bullsh!t that's gripping the nation these days...
We were in a resteraunt some time back (before the wreck) and there was a little chihuahua wandering near my table, sniffing under the table and around my feet...I tried to shoo it away and it growled at me several times. The girls that owned it ignored my request that they reel thier nuicance back (also several times) as it was on one of those retractable leash things.
Irritated now, I flagged the waiter and when he showed up, I had a pissed-off look while pointing to a puddle around my shoe...he then immediately went over to the girl's table and escorted them to the register and on out the door. While that was going on, he had a busboy come over with a couple towels and cleaned up the puddle and I dried my shoe off.
Mission accomplished, dinner commenced in peace (at the cost of a little covert drinking water spill)
