On his return, he's telling his pal all about it.
"I was coming out of a shop one day and it was raining hard outside, so I took shelter in a doorway.
Another feller was sheltering too, and he turned to me and he said, "Nice weather". Well, of course it wasn't nice weather at all. In fact it was terrible weather...and then I got it! This was an example of the famous British irony! I loved it!
And I've been using irony ever since. Like the other day, I was having this barbecue for the family and a bunch of neighbours, and I burned the burgers.
And Joe, from next door, was standing there and I turned to him and looked at the burgers and said, "Nice weather"."
