A Screen Capture From The Video Below: 
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal Gets A Little Too Chummy With A Passing Train During Safety Talk

Hello!

The following quickie post is about an equally short (30 second) video that I just found on YouTube:

 Safety First??!!

Irony is defined as:
 

1.

the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.

The following video may well sum up the term for anyone still not clear on that definition.

Milford, Connecticut:  As a presentation is being made on a train platform...right as the speaker says "safety is paramount"...a passing train nearly wipes out U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal who was positioned inside a yellow area designed to keep people away from the tracks.

After this "safety" faux pas...I'm sure someone has had some 'splaining to do to the Senator's office!!  :)
