It’s bad luck to be superstitious.
And that ugly and annoying girl grew up to be Susan Estrich.
The End.
Let me guess! You married that ugly girl, who later turned into a raving beauty that was always on time.
That sounds like a logic flaw. She may have been so late your bus had already gone.
No - knock on wood.
The ugly girl gig ended when I graduated from high school. The reason is that I was no longer at that bus stop. It HAD to be that bus stop. And only that bus stop. That is why I only let me dad drive me to school on non-test days in my senior year.
No flaw. She only showed up on test days. And she was ALWAYS late. I could always see her mother’s car in the distance but the bus driver wouldn’t so it was up to me to tell him to wait about an extra thirty seconds or so for the girl.
I read all that and NO punchline?? You owe us!
FYI
Are you superstitious? And why?
Yes because it’s the red car that will hit you.
“Are you superstitious?”
Goodness no, living without such silly fears is the only way to have a content life.
(knock on wood)
But if you want a punchline I could tell you the story about The Thing in Texas but I won't.
Yeah... The other flaw is in the order you are standing on the bus. If she got on after you she would be in front of you not behind. Sorry.
A simple lesson in Karma, or what my grandpappy would say, “what goes around comes around.” Or is it the other way around? “What comes around goes around.” Well, whatever, you get the point.
Yeah, well, I wish I could tell you I’m utterly rational but experience tells me that way too many superstitions, like the one I related here, seem to work.
The bus was so crowded that everybody was slamming against everybody whenever that bus driver hit the breaks. It wasn’t just her. BTW, when I took the bus home from school it wasn’t at all crowded. On board quite often was maybe the hottest blonde I ever saw in my life. Her I would love to have slamming against me but it never happened.
It’s no superstition. Ugly people have traditionally brought good luck to the rest of the population (they’re good for something after all.) Remember, it is good luck to touch a hunchback’s back, or to see more than one blind man in one day. There is also something about encountering nuns and gypsies, the details escape me.
Whenever I watch a Patriots game, I have to wear a hat or other article of clothing bearing the team logo. Otherwise, I know they will lose. Sometimes they lose anyway, but at least I know it wasn’t my fault. ;-)
That sounds like a logic flaw. She may have been so late your bus had already gone.
Wrong. She didn't exist on days he had no test.
