They say that US'ns have no sense of irony. My best tale of irony comes from Hungary while I was there with People to People in 1969. We were taken to a Communist youth camp outside of Budapest where we were shown around and given a party. As one of the last two members to arrive at the party after horseback riding, I was struck on my irony bone when I realized that the rock band that was playing for us was playing "Back in the USSR". In English.
I have a favorite T-Shirt that I like to wear, especially under circumstances where I am not expected to know what's going on, but I know I do. It reads "I'm smiling because I have no idea what's going on". Sorry I couldn't answer your questions, but I did my best to add to the examples.
