Things that come in threes
Reading, 'riting, and 'rithmatic.
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
Location, location, location.
The Greeks had three furies, three gorgons, three graces and three fates.
Biblically, the earth rose from the water on the third day, as did Jesus from the tomb and Jonah from the whale.
And we find ourselves with the same number of wise men, blind mice, dog nights (of which I myself have plenty), wishes offered by genies, musketeers, tenors, stooges, and bears out to terrorize Goldilocks.
It's a crowd. It's the number of magic words of romance. It's the appropriate number of cheers -- hip, hip, and hooray. It's how many guys walk into a bar in joketelling. It's how many days it takes fish -- or visitors -- to smell.
It's how many times a bridesmaid, or a charm. You get three strikes, three outs, and three rings at the circus.
You eat three squares a day with the same three utensils. It's how many times you row your boat, and if you fall out the third time you go under is the last.
I came, I saw, I conquered.
Rinse, lather, repeat.
Three to get ready, now go, cat, go.

What'd I miss? :D

Oh, yeah...turned it into a sex thread.

Not that she's a "thing" but it seemed to fit.
