What's funny about that?
What was funny, darling sijummmm, was the three meanings to what he said:
1. The beetroot is going off. Metaphoric, meaning it is popular.
2. The beetroot is going off. Literal. He realised it needed correction, because the beetroot was, in fact, still good, so in case no one had understood his intended -
3. Irony, he explained that by saying, "The beetroot is going off," he meant the opposite of the metaphoric instance, which, if it had been true, would have resulted in an empty tin instead of a full one.
