Fortunately / Unfortunately

[Flavus Aquila]

Rules: It's like a story thread, but every post alternates between something unfortunate, or fortunate about the post above it.

To keep things clear, start your reply using: "Fortunately, ....." / "Unfortunately, .....".

I'll start:

I went to the cinema to watch a movie.



Unfortunately, it had already started.

 

[Gaze]

but it was my day off, and I knew I'd enjoy it anyway

 

[Flavus Aquila]

Unfortunately, your boss called you to let you know that your presence was urgently needed.

 

[Gaze]

But they were calling me in talk about a promotion

 

[Flavus Aquila]

Fortunately, they were calling me in talk about a promotion.

Unfortunately, the promotion was offered on condition that you submit to medical probing.

 

[Satori]

Fortunately, it's something I can handle, especially with the prospect of a doubled salary in sight.

 

[Stu]

Unfortunately the thought of all that money made me gamble every dime I had on Bernie winning the Nevada Caucus.

 

[Flavus Aquila]

Fortunately, Bernie hears about this and invites you to dinner.

 

[Tin Man]

Unfortunately Bernie is a cannibal and believes you should be the entree.

 

[Flavus Aquila]

Fortunately, Trump's supporters notice the situation and crash the dinner to rescue you.

 

[#@&5&49]

Unfortunately, the rescuers sway Trump towards socilaism.

 

[writerinchief]

Fortunately, he tells everyone he doesn't want to build a wall at all.

 

[apemon]

Unfortunately he digs a moat instead and Mexico breaks off and floats away.

 

[Misadventure]

Fortunately it becomes the most desirable island vacation location.

 

[#@&5&49]

Unfortunately then they apply for foreign aid.

 

[apemon]

Fortunately this aid arrives in the form of a shipload of unused FEMA trailers that the inhabitants recycle into solar collectors and become energy self-reliant.

 

[just me]

Unfortunately, the ship had no Captain.

 

[Gaze]

Fortunately, they had an experienced Chief Officer, who had good rapport with the crew, take the wheel in a jiff.

 

[#@&5&49]

Unfortunately the chief officer sold the FEMA trailers to the islanders knowing they were full of toxic fumes

 

[Gaze]

Fortunately, the islanders had an insider on the ship who tipped them off about the trailers, giving them time to resell their shipment to a chemical plant at another port.
