I've been struck by lightning three times. One of these times was while in a crowd at a soccer game.
I never fear, for I am the luckiest man alive.
I dropped a glass bottle in the street that contained my heart pills. Moments later, my heart started to seize while a car blew two tires on the glass shards and crashed into a light pole.
They survived, because I'm the luckiest man alive.
I saved my money for twenty years to make a bank deposit. That day at the bank, it was robbed. The robber took my money from my hand before it could be deposited. The FDIC doesn't insure that.
I once had a winning lottery ticket, but on my way to claim my prize, it began to rain. I grabbed my coat to pull it tighter from the wind and the rain, and lost my grip on the ticket. The wind blew it into a storm drain. I couldn't remember the numbers and had no receipt.
I chased a cat out of my yard. I later found out that it was the cat of Liz Taylor, and she was offering a reward of one hundred thousand dollars for its return.
I still don't care.
Forty people came out of an elevator with no trouble. When I got into it by myself, the cables snapped and the emergency brake engaged. It took them four hours to even realize someone was in it. Before then, it was just maintenance guys trying to fix it.
Of all the places in New York City, and long after it was cleaned up, I stepped in the one place that had someone's banana peel on the curb. I slipped and fell backward, the back of my head racing for the concrete.
But she caught me.
As she stood me back up, I first saw her smile. It was at my expense, but with no pressure of embarrassment. I smiled back and thanked her, and together we walked that day, laughing and talking. We saw each other for 2 days before we even learned each other's names.
We had many fun dates and eventually fell in love. She's the anchor to my wild ship. No misfortune can befall me with her by my side. Her smile is all I need. We are to be married next June. I am the only man she ever loved. She is the only woman that ever loved me.
That's why I am the luckiest man alive.
Of course, this isn't about me, lol
