Yesterday on the Spadina streetcar, a university student was telling his friend he was writing a thesis on the topic of Sincerity; he then kept saying, "No, really, I am! I know you think I'm joking about this, but I'm not."
I was not sure if he was aware of the ironic turn the conversation had taken, though he sounded like someone who prided himself on his ability to spot irony, at least in the actions of others.
