Can you think of any examples of irony and sarcasm?
 
The two obvious ones are:

I have a new client and we are supposed to discuss irony and sarcasm, although strangely, the examples that I had for irony sounded like sarcasm.

Thanks! Have a great day!

Irony, apparently, was described by Socrates, animated by Shakespeare and O. Henry, and killed by a 1995 radio hit.

By the way....
