Something has just occurred to me.......life’s not fair!
And what’s the reason life’s not fair???
S*ds Law (*+o)!!! (Or "why does this keep on happening to me theory" as it is also called).
You are maybe wondering what this is; well here is an example:
If you knock a piece of buttered toast off of the table it would land buttered side down. (Ok so it’s to do with gravity but you get the picture. Yes I know that if you did this on Mars it would land on your floor so that it would not make a mess but that is not the point)
Ok bad example...... How about....
You save up for 6 months to buy the PS2 (you have worked hard and not spent a penny), You go to the shop (which is a 10 mile walk) and just as you are about to put the 269 pounds in the cashiers hand, a man pushes over to you and steals your cash, so no PS2 for you!
You see, from the start of time S*ds Law has messed things up. Take for instance the dinosaurs.
They just got their world so nice and.... BANG! Comet kills them all.
Then you have Britain being invaded by the Romans.
The Romans brought over nice food and houses (Britain was a happening place for once), then they decided to run away back to Rome and they take all their stuff with them.
100s of years it took us to get that good again.
Now lets go to the second world war. Hitler is beating the world with his army. Everything is going great for him then he decides to invade England and ...plop! There go Hitler's dreams of world domination down the pan!
It could happen to anyone at anytime!
I mean you could be going to the shops in your new shoes (which cost a lot), and see some bird droppings on the floor, so you move your foot to the side and realize you have just stepped in a massive pile of dog poo!! Which you would have avoided if you had stepped in the tiny bit of bird droppings.
No one really knows where it originated.
Some say the Gods first attempt at making luck gone horribly wrong. Others say it’s the souls of the dead come back to play tricks on us.
Everyone is confused, but one thing for sure its not going away any time soon!!!
Why am I telling you this you may ask? well i'll tell you.
3 days ago I was meant to get a new monitor for my comp but it did not arrive. (By the way my old one had a pink shaded screen and it flashed).
Yesterday I think what the hell, to take my mind of things lets play a game, so I start to download a game called Micro Machines. (As my computer is very slow it would take some time.)
Halfway through the loading the screen turns black. Yes that’s right its broken. So I turn off the comp and go to my Granddad’s house, (40 minutes walk) and borrow his old monitor. I put it in a wheelbarrow and pushed it home. ) That’s right my Granddad and me do not have a car). It took me 50 minutes to get home. As I turn through the gate I notice my Uncles car drive off. (He’s giving me a new monitor).
I get to the front door and pinned to it is a note, it said: 'Hi, I popped round and waited 1/2 an hour, but nobody was home. I will bring the computer round tomorrow... Uncle Mick.'
So today I finally got it but I had to walk for 1 and 1/2 hours to and back from my Granddads house with his screen. Aaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!
To help you I have put together a short list of helpful do’s and don’ts to prevent anything like this happening to you.
1) You can learn a lot from TV, watch it and get ready to absorb the information, but remember, always buy 2 different TV guides so that you can make sure that your favorite programme has not been put off by snooker or cricket.
2) The Bus!
a) Always leave 5 minutes before you intended to leave to catch a bus because 99.9 % of the time when you get to your bus stop the bus you wanted has gone.
b) If you think you have missed that bus, do not leave that stop, because when you are halfway home you will see your bus speeding past, because its late, but you are not fast enough to get to the stop on time.
3) Never comment on a girl’s weight. Just say that she looks nice. If you say she looks slim she will have a go at you for lying, but if you say she is a bit overweight she will run off in tears.
4) If your going to get something like a game and you can not wait and you keep going "Yes I am gonna get it" I bet you 50 quid that something bad will happen. Do not keep your hopes too high. S*ds Law feeds on hope!
5) But most of all... Do not drink vast amounts of alcohol during the early morning. For some strange reason something bad always happens.
Golden Rule...
Never mix schnapps with cheddar cheese??
No (but that’s very important so write it down). Just use your common sense.
So remember together we can beat this thing!! Just keep your mind clear and stay safe.
Thank you for your time.
