second finest hour

I once dated a girl who worked for the Laramie Boomerang.  She was at least partially responsible for allowing to be printed a photo of a giant stone pyramid as a stand-in for Arnold Schwarzenegger's image--a mistake which made it onto the Headlines segment of the Leno show.

Today the Tonight Show received from me this headline and pic, from today's online edition of the Boom.  I'm optimistic.

It's been a long time comin' this fall. I really should start thinking about the trip to WV and AZ and start planning some Christmas gifty-gifts.

Damn! All my training is for shit! Here is a clever sign, but I can't explain why. Is this an example of irony? And if it's irony, is it dramatic irony? Or situational? Maybe verbal? Oh, the shame of being a member of Las Departamento de English and not being able to identify a smart rhetorical play when I see it! The shame!
