Slugbuggy, I was going to correct you on your use of the word 'ironic', but then I thought about it and realised you were right :-)
Ironic is a word that I just avoid using, because it annoys me so much that people mistake it to mean 'unfortunate' or 'coincidental', but there are some situations where it's not so clear whether the word 'ironic' is right or not. So I find it's better to err on the side of caution instead of making the same mistake myself.
An Australian comedian called Will Anderson had a great skit about Alanis Morissette's song, 'Ironic', and how none of the lyrics actually describe ironic events. One of my friends once pointed out to me that the only thing that is actually ironic about the song is that it's called 'ironic' but there's nothing ironic in it. Here's a link to a site that isn't by Will Anderson, but pretty much says the same thing:
