Ah, but I had this conversation with a professor of mine, and she said that irony would be a diabetic getting hit by a truck carrying insulin, as they were killed by something that was supposed to have saved their life. Hence my confusion, and my decision to switch to History major.
But then again, this was the English Prof with a mullet and a muumuu...
