What kind of irony is this ? 1. A mean old man ate a large meal at a restaurant. The waitress tried to provide him with excellent
service, but every time she brought him a dish, he complained. First he thought that the soup was too
cold when it was hot. Then he said that his steak was dry and chewy, when it was moist and succulent.
Then he complained that one of her blonde hairs was in his mashed potatoes, but the hair was actually
grey like his own. She remained patient and continued to try to help him until the end of the meal, when
he left her a quarter for a tip. She replied on his way out, "Thank you for the generous tip, Mister."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
