Just a little ironic story of three friends...

One of the most famous of the Canterbury Tales is the "Pardoner's Tale," which we read today.  Of course, Chaucer is being ironic with the avarice-driven Pardoner telling a story of the evils of greed, but which element /event of irony in the story did you find most humorous or edifying?  Give the line and identify the type of irony being used and explain what you liked about it.  Make sure you don't use the same example as the poster prior to you.  (The deadline to post a response is midnight Thursday, April 4, 2013.)
