Ever heard of irony?

Right now we're watching a competition on Food Network wherein two people are trying to peel 50lbs of onions in less than 3 minutes, 18 seconds. They interviewed the gentleman before the challenge, when he was quoted as saying, "I just hope I don't embarrass myself! haha" Umm... you're on national TV, in a RACE to chop ONIONS... way too late, man..way too late.
