"Great day for the beach," Dad said, looking out the window at the sunny sky.

"Can't wait to work on my tan," Joe said, heading out into the rain.

"Whenever I see you, it's a sunny day!" Joannie laughed.

"Make sure you take your umbrella!" Mom warned.

Answer 1

"Can't wait to work on my tan," Joe said, heading out into the rain.

This is verbal irony because Joe says the opposite of what he means—the rain prevents him from getting a tan.
