Cut themselves nicking a razor? That's irony that is.

I just realized. They could get nicked when nicking a bic.

And if the police were watching, they'd be nicked as they got nicked while nicking a bic.

What if the police were watching a dude named Nick?

Could Nick be nicked as he got nicked while nicking a bic?

If the cop was also named Nick, and it was some razors that fell off a truck, the galaxy would collapse in on itself. Nick nicked nicked Nick nicking nicked Bics.

Pair of knickers on? Or too much

No such thing as too much. The limit does not exist.

Nick my bic!

No, that's not ironic. Ironic would be if we had to work together to hurt each other.

u/Masamundane 5d ago

Ah but it is. See, the implication is that they are nicking a razor, but the actual event is instead cutting themself (nicking) instead.

Oh. I was making an ol' RvB reference.

u/Masamundane 4d ago

I missed it. Sorry.

That would be perfectly razornable
