flying and washing......good fortune learnt


sometimes good things happen to us........out of the blue ............for no apparent reason.......we should make it a point to remember these things so when the shithitsthefan it all balances out:


a week or so ago I was on a plane trip sitting in 22C which is the last seat on the aisle .....which doesn't lean back because the bathroom is there..and stuck in a seat next to two other losers......who happened to be speaking in tongues and glancing at me after every other word like I was the topic of conversation..........and these chaps were eating some god awful mystery food that appeared to have been sacrificed a few weeks ago and left to cure open air.........I had sat there for 1-1/2 hours which was about 1/2 the flight and felt like 17 days..... when a flight attendant leaned over and I swear I thought she was going to kiss me........whispered in my ear....no shit ........like we had a conspiracy going on "would you like to move up front...we have seat 1C open and only one person on that row." I hollered "WOOD EYE?????" and inquired if my carry-on bags could make the move too....she said "no problem"...and got my bags..I jogged up front...stretched out...and life was good....... put my free headphones on and watched the Food Channel the rest of the trip


Then last week I went to a self service car wash......pulled in the bay and found 3 American quarters stacked neatly on the control panel waiting for me to pick them up and use them to wash my dirty ass van. Which I did.



I think this is probably just all good karma finally catching up with me after years of neglect. But I am going to make an effort to remember and enjoy it.

is it just me or does the kid in front of the car wash look like a cross between Rob and Polvo?
