Universal rhetoric…

An important safety tip to remember: the Universe does not understand what a rhetorical question is.

For example, one might be tempted to go through a list of recent woes like losing a car, various health issues, and a bed bug discovery which turned out to be a full-blown, sleep-depriving, skinfection scratcheggedon requiring us to tear our home apart and throw away tons of things we might have liked to otherwise keep, and ask: “Could this possibly get any worse?”

Do not challenge the Universe with such questions, for it will take them as a challenge and inevitably answer, “challenge accepted.”

One will just hope in this case that my lost toenail shall be considered penalty enough as a reminder.

    Can be fixed by surgery, though, but I don’t have the time for that yet.
