Okay, I just had an idea, based on real life situations (in case you can't tell), which made me think of trying to write a few "Irony riddles" here and there. Basically, with the information of the riddle, what do you think would be the ironic answer to the riddle? Good luck.

I had made clam chowder for dinner.

I was sure this one was a winner.

But, I was saving it for later tonight,

So, while I was waiting, I snuck a bite.

What do you think happened to me,

That Murphy sent as irony?

used oysters instead of clams

At least to me!

Both good answers, this is the closest, but still a little ways to go.

found a pair of overalls at the bottom of the pot. AND, they probably needed a little touchup with an iron(y).

The latter, here, has happened to me, before, but your first answer is indeed what happened. : )
