The methods in ur book, I disagree wiv them
More to the point, American’s still don’t “get” (or pronounce correctly) irony.
Ah, but Americans (well, some) get the proper use of an apostrophe.
Pwnt!
Excellent
HA! Nice one!
Hay, mabee low in iron, but iz hi in fiber! And mak neyes wif mai Marcan hoomins. Alloomeenium? Has you flavour? serrioslee
I think they “get” it just fine, at least per this photo/caption. And pronunciation is subjective, by region. Dont be a snob.
Fool – he was talking about FC’s (note correct use of apostrophe) post!

Irony…it’s the opposite of wrinkly.
Good one!
Probably the most ironic about it, is that the smooth edges on the tears indicate that the dog didn’t actually chew up the book. I believe that qualifies as dramatic irony.
Nice catch!!!
I noticed that also!
Nah, if there’s one thing I’ve seen in my life it’s dog-torn-up books, and I saw a lot of edges like that. She puts one paw on the paper and pulls with her mouth, and it rips. This is fun enough to do over and over.
Love it!
Submitted by Alanis? Irony my ass.
oh, i thot i wuz at icanhazhawtdawg…musta hit teh link to icanhazlingwisticsnobbery. or mebbe xenofobicsmallmindedness. I allwaze get dem confoozed.
I’m so glad they put a kweschun mark on dis wun…I could see mah googeh doin this, even tho she r mostly traned.
I got a book out of the library called “Taming your teenage dog”. I had lots of problems with my dog, but chewing things up was never one of them.
Until one morning I woke up to find that yes, of course, my dog had chewed up the dog training book. Dogs are smart little cookies. They can put two and two together.
ewwww goggie hz cotten mouf nao – needs salt
This picture implies that the dog’s owner bought the book so that he could improve the dog’s behavior. So yes, it is irony.
Our dog really *did* eat our brand new copy of Dog Training for Dummies. I came home from work and Max had ripped it to shreds and merrily flung the bits all over the house. It was one of those “I really should laugh at the horrible thing my child has done, but oh God is it funny” moments.
I lent my boss some dog training books and he sheepishly told me the dog had eaten them.
I beg to differ with those (hrise1841, jane, etc) who believe dogs can’t make straight edges. Our FCR will lay on a book and pull with her teeth from side-to-side, thus making long shreds. All of them have straight edges.
It’s called talent!
I thought my dog was bad. She chewed on our dog training for idiots book. she did not manage total destruction.
No, it’s NOT irony. An ironic situation is when something happens that you would never expect. Clearly, if the owner bought a dog training book, then the dog had behavior issues, like tearing up books, for instance. So the fact that the disobedient dog chewed up a book (that just happens to be about obedience) is EXACTLY what you would expect to happen, and therefore, not ironic. It’s just called a “coincidence.”
hmmm.. I have a book that looks exactly like that…from when my dog was a pup…. *grins*
The dog’s name is Papi and his daddy is David Lozeau. Here is the link to the original post of Papi vs. Dummies: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dlozeau/2506723738/
That’s my dog (my boyfriend took the picture)–and I can assure you, it’s all real.
Papi was a total character and had a knack for killing our things when he was young:

He’s a saint now. . .he’s the good dog out of the pair!
papi is just adorable
What I find hilarious is that there’s a Kong toy, specifically made for chewing, right next to the torn up book. Judging by the color, though, it’s the wrong strength for this guy. He definitely needs a red, or possibly black, Kong – not a puppy one (which is what he has).
