The Sortable Table of Ironic Stories contains a list of the funny short stories which have already been posted. Beside the title of the story is the date when it was first posted and a star ranking.

 

 

Star rankings are provided by readers. After reading a story, you are asked to rank it from 1 to 5 stars for overall quality and for irony level. Readers are also asked whether the story is believable. All funny short stories are fiction, but could they happen in real life? Reader responses are saved, averaged, and displayed in the table. The number in parentheses after a star ranking indicates how many readers have provided a ranking.
