Not since James Thurber died…   :-)
I've argued before that irony is a natural form for Europeans but a special 
mode for murkins - and that causes serious communication difficulties at times.

Funnily enough, someone in a cafe yesterday (the owner) queried the fact that I 
was reading a text (on half frame cameras) and not just making notes but  doing 
more extensive drafting. I had used a laptop there before (they know me as a 
'writer') but as I was with my wife who had wandered off for a while to shop 
and walk the dog so it was more convenient. Although a retiree himself he was 
surprised to see someone using old tech in a determined and productive way. 
Well…I was determined to be productive.
