Person B: What irony, considering he died of a gunshot wound.
Person A: Hey! It's you! I haven't seen you since high-school! Is it ironic that we found each other?
Person B: No, that's actually just a regular coincidence. It would have been ironic if we ran into each other somewhere while both trying to avoid going to our high school reunion.
Person A: I remember why I stopped talking to you now.
