Best Answer

In "A Call Loan" by O. Henry, the irony lies in the reversal of expectations. The main character, Silky Bob, uses his charm and wit to manipulate others, but ultimately finds himself outwitted and conned in the end. The irony comes from the fact that the person who thought he was the cleverest ends up being the victim of a cleverer scheme.
