Lottery

Apparently, we've entered the stress lottery -- my daughter tells us that her calculus final will include material from last year, when she wasn't in the class, and last night my wife bit down on something, and now her tooth hurts.  Hmmm.... I feel as if I ought to wrap myself in cotton wool for a while.

Does it come in threes? Really??

Or multiples thereof, yes. Sometimes the trifecta includes a double-down, otherwise known as the What the hell is THIS?, option. This was immortalized by Dorothy Parker's comment at the Algonquin Round Table: What fresh hell is this?

Dorothy did have a way with words, didn't she?

It's probably much more charming in retrospect.
