I figured it would be fun to reverse the game and try to put a positive spin on some otherwise dreary, hopeless situation. Maybe it's not as fun as being twisted and cynical, but hey, it could get interesting. Without further ado:

My car broke down on a highway at 2 a.m.

It could have broke down at 3:00 A.M.

Well, it's a start... now post your own scenario, mph! You know how it works! [No No]

It could have broken down at 4pm. And insteada merely experiencing a spinout on a relatively empty road, you could have been in heavy traffic causing a massive pileup.
(Actually witnessed a freeway spinout late at night from a broken tie-rod. No injuries.)

When your car broke down, the person who came to tow your car turned out to be the person (select gender of your choice) of your dreams. You got married and lived happily ever after. [Big Grin]

I haven't had time to mow my grass in weeks, and it's starting to look like a jungle out there.

Your nieghbor mows it for you, and it is the start of an excellent friendship.

Somebody refuses to post a scenario after answering one.

But it gives you a wonderful opportunity to put out there and keep the game going!!! Yeah you!

I have to pack...again...

But this time it's to move to your own private island complete with perfect, palacial beachside bungalo.

You get involved in a fender bender.

So you have to trade in your old car...fo a new porshe.

I hurt my back again.

But you get full workman's comp, free medical treatment, courtesy of your apologetic boss, and three weeks off from work!

I don't have a girlfriend...

but you go to Starbucks for a Grande Americano and the barista behind the counter says you remind her of Brad Pitt and asks you out. She's a raving beauty and you fall madly, passionately in love.

I don't have a boyfriend...

Because you are happily married!

I'm nervous about the bluegrass competition in a couple of weeks.
 
Posted by Jess N (Member # 6744) on :
 
Not to worry! The Angel of Bluegrass Music visits you and gives you a sacred mandolin and blesses you with the voice of the greatest bluegrass singer of all time. You win the contest and bluegrass becomes the new pop music of the millenium.

I'm worried about my teaching job...
