You Win Some, You Fail Some.

It's common knowledge that you can't win 'em all. What isn't common knowledge is that you can't totally lose them all either. Just look at Steve Buscemi (or don't actually look at him, but remember the gist of what he looks like), the guy still manages to be a moderately famous b-actor and he looks like one of those bulgy-eye dolls that you squeeze when you get stressed out got left on an oven.


Any way, my point is, even I don't loose all the time. I mean, I haven't won lately....In fact, let me first run down my latest fails (in addition to the recent one in the post directly below this one.)

I work at a pool. In the last month, I've
1. Forgot I had work
2. Forgot to punch out at work
3. Accidentally kicked a radio into the pool...and killed it.

And just today, I called the Apple Computers service line, because my computer was being dumb. Anyway, the automated voice told me I was on hold because all the specialists were busy, then a bit later the voice came on again and said that again. And here's the kicker: no waiting music. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo..........


I had to improvise.

So I'm in the middle of a lively version of "Zombie" when I start wondering, "What if the technician comes on the line while I'm still–"
"Hi this is Mike, how can I help you?"
"...uh...hey Mike...."
And the conversation went on from there...

But again, you can't always lose...

Here's a win/my best pun ever:

So a year ago or so, me and some friends got to talking about ear sex. I don't know how we got talking about ear sex, but somehow we got talking about ear sex. So I said, "Personally, I find ear sex quite Aud."

Of coure being said out loud, nobody really understood that I was saying "aud" instead of "odd"...

which I guess means that I didn't win after all....but rather failed quite miserably.... soooooooooooo.....

I guess you can lose them all. If you're me.
