you are correct justin the situation was indeed ironic.
Henry Watson Fowler, in The King's English, says “any definition of irony - though hundreds might be given, and very few of them would be accepted - must include this, that the surface meaning and the underlying meaning of what is said are not the same."
kenny told me youve been running some crazy weekly mileage lately (60? 80?)
i did not actually mean that you need to train harder. i was just pulling your chain (in good nature i might add)
in the future i will stick to polite terse statements that wont get misunderstood.
