{{quote|''"Say a diabetic man is worried about being killed by sugar all the time. Every aspect of his life is about controlling his blood sugar so he won't die. This man is killed by a truck. That is not ironic, it is tragic. Killed by a truck delivering sugary doughnuts? That is hysterical, but not ironic. Killed by a truck delivering insulin? That is fucking ironic."''|'''[[George Carlin]]'''}}
