Bad Luck

"Civil Servant"

A civil servant is badly hurt, after falling down the stairs
at city hall.

He is taken to the hospital where he remains in a coma
for several days.

Finally, an eye opens and his doctor tells him, "My friend,
I have bad news and I have good news. First of all, you'll
never be able to work again."

"Okay," muttered the injured bureaucrat. "What's the bad
news?"

"Bad Luck"

Bill and Doug were getting ready for the company awards
dinner for the best salesman. Bill was in the running to
win an award that evening and wanted to make sure he
looked his best when he claimed his prize. He felt his
luck was with him and was sure to win. He stood in
front of the mirror to fix his tie but the mirror was crooked,
so he reached over to straighten it out and it came
crashing down on the floor.

"Oh no," said Bill. "Now I am going to have seven years
bad luck."

"Nonsense," said Doug. My uncle once broke a mirror
and he didn't have seven years bad luck."

"Really?" said Bill, feeling much better knowing this bit of
information.

"Yeah really," said Doug. "He died that day."
