Exempli Gratia, Irony
The situation: Several classrooms at Des Moines Area Community College were evacuated after college officials became nervous about a suspicious package.
The task: Call bomb squad to investigate the suspicious package.
The action: Bomb squad investigates the package.
The result: Bomb squad finds a 500-pack box of condoms.
The irony: What is thought to be a bomb, threatening the safety of hundreds of students, turns out to be what is intended to keep those same students safe from diseases and pregnancy.
Moral of the story: Condoms result in an anti-climactic ending.
