a lecture of irony

Today's afternoon lecture was as stale as usual.

There was a only whiff of irony when the lecturer threw a question to the floor.

Lecturer:"So, define the Australian culture."

Student #1: Drinking.

I sniggered along with the lecturer nodding his head in approval.

Student #2: Laidback attitude to work.

I smirked along with the lecturer nodding his head in approval.

Student #3: Multicultural

I rolled my eyes, in irony.

For those who don't study in a foreign land, you'll know what I mean.
