What are three examples of humourous verbal irony?

Mr. Lorry

“I have been a man of business, ever since I have been a man. Indeed, I may say that I was a man of business when a boy.”

Jerry Cruncher

“No, you mayn’t. I’m a going—as your mother knows—a fishing. That’s where I’m going to. Going a fishing.”

Young Jerry, dress yourself, my boy, and while I clean my boots keep a eye upon your mother now and then, and if you see any signs of more flopping, give me a call.
