Isn't it Ironic? Don't you think?

So, I didn't do so well with the everyday Blogging goal. However, I think that I can get every other day down so that I may actually have consistent readers. Have you been to this site before?

Anyway, today I wanted to discuss, briefly, my long lost family members still located in the British Isles. Okay, so they may not be related to me at all, but have you heard about that crazy flight from Delhi to London? Well, let me tell you.

Before you go on, you may take offense to the following story. This is not meant to be offensive or disrespectful. Just merely a lesson in rhetoric - isn't it ironic?

An elderly woman in coach was upgraded from her seat, just after take off, with her family to 1st class. Unfortunately, she didn't share the excitement that I would have if I had the opportunity to fly first class. Lucky for those in coach, however, it didn't cost the family any money. The poor woman died in coach and the crew had to move the body. She just died. The "crew were working in difficult circumstances and chose the option they thought would cause least disruption". So they put her in 1st class. Least disruption? Tell that to the unfortunate Paul Trinder. The man is now famous for sitting next to a corpse that kept slipping off of the seat because of turbulence.

Okay, enough of that...I'm not sure what I would have chosen to do in that case - maybe find an airport close and disembark and load the body in the cargo hold? Or perhaps place the woman respectfully in the very back of the plane covered by a blanket? Or maybe it was just honorable of British Airways to, one time in the woman's life (or lack thereof), upgrade her to 1st class? But she couldn't even enjoy it!

So, here is to the irony that is: your replacement getting an office because you made the job worthwhile.
So, here is to the irony that is: the employee you're training making more money than you.
So, here is to the irony that is: craving the popcorn at the bottom of the bag because you think it might have more butter and finding that you only get more kernel.
So, here is to the irony that is: a free upgrade when you're no longer alive to use it.

Bummer...and thank you kindly British Airways for thinking of her honor!
