A Dire Situation!

Well, I have a situation that could very well upset the entire order of the Universe as we know it. This is SERIOUS, folks! It could result in cataclysmic matter/anti-matter interactions, inter-galactic warfare, famine, plagues, disease, and even a second tRump administration. Clearly, Heaven and earth hang in the balance on this!

So, today is St. Patrick's Day, right? Everybody is supposed to have the "luck of the Irish," and all that; I mean, LUCK is the order of the day! Well, I blew it! I go to lunch today, and I find a dime and three pennies on the floor where I bought lunch. Thirteen cents! **Unlucky** thirteen! So my critical question is, does this *negate* all that "luck of the Irish"? Remember, the fate of all that we know and love could ride on this!

You could have been happy with a dime and 2 pennies but NOOO, you just had to pick up that 3rd penny. You got greedy and now we are all doomed - maybe even to a Trump 2nd term.

Just contribute whatever you found to a local, state, or federal election Democratic candidate and all your luck will change!

... if you'd left one of the pennies on the floor.

Let the next person have some luck too.
