Unexpected Good Fortune
Travelling through Seattle a good 15 years ago, I remembered an old friend I used to blow up Action Men with. We were bored, nothing to lose , so I looked him up in the phonebook. He was the only one of that name in there. "Come and stay," goes he.
Me and my mates were living in a car at that point so a bed was a novelty. After searching for a while, we rock up to a very posh mansion on Puget Sound with its own Helipad. "Come flying," goes he.
Has your luck held out recently?

Unlucky Fried Kitten
I was visiting my friend in Croydon one Saturday night, to celebrate his birthday. Needless to say, everyone got slaughtered, I more than most.
Come chucking out time, we were all pissed-up and hungry, so I went into KFC for whatever I could get. I waited patiently at the end of the epic line, trying not to sway like the drunken lord I am, and as I got nearer the till, a young chap stepped in front of me in the queue. Without thinking, I blurted out the immortal line...
"Nigger please"
Don't ask me where the hell it came from...one to many Chris Rock shows perhaps. Who knows, but the entire restaurant , including the staff heard it. Now, bear in mind that everyone in KFC in Croydon that night, including the staff, were black.
I dont remember very much of the entire incident, but the queue parted like the Red Sea for Moses, and I walked to the front, got served, and most importantly didn't get the royal beating that many would argue I richly deserved.
I would say that makes me a fairly lucky man, but if anyone wants to see if they can survive it, then please feel free to have a go.
And, yes, I know it was a terrible thing to say. No, I am not racist, and I do not think that saying nigger is acceptable or funny. And no, they didnt spit in my food, cos it was already boxed.
Thankyou.
