we have been riding waves since the day we were born.
- Hey, you were born
-> that's fortunate
- No. that's unfortunate... now we have to be subjected to the will of our parents and what ever government we (or in more that 50% of the US - did not) elected and we have to pay taxes
-> that's unfortunate
- No. that's fortunate, because we get free education until we graduate from highschool
-> that's fortunate
- No. that's unfortunate, because in order for us to really "make" it we have to go to college which means that we have to pay for more school in order to get "the job" that we need to "make it"
-> that's unfortunate
- No. that's fortunate... you get money some how and you graduate with a degree in something. Thus, supposedly, improving you position in life and in the eyes of your parents, their friends, and your peers...
-> that's fortunate
- No. that's unfortunate... depending on how you got that money you either have to pay it back to whatever bank loaned it to you, be a slave to your parents, or both, or become a criminal, or all of the above...
-> that's unfortunate
- No. that's fortunate... the degree you got somehow got you into a job that allows you to payback that loan or your parents or your bail or whatever
-> that's fortunate
- No. that's unfortunate... you have to pay taxes, social security, and some dude named "FICA", and depending on how the government handles social security, you might not even get a piece of that action...
-> that's unfortunate
- No. that's fortunate... with the leftover money you can squeak out a modest (or immodest) lifestyle and have all of this fun
-> that's fortunate
- No. that's unfortunate... you don't have as much money as you think, so you have to put it on credit, so now you make less that you spent...
and the juice is still running...
-> that's unfortunate...
- No. that's fortunate... because it allows you to do things like fly in planes, planes with good engines and good pilots...
-> that's fortunate...
- No. that's unfortunate... the plane took off with out enough fuel...
-> that's unfortunate...
- No. that's fortunate... the plane had a parachute for you...
-> that's fortunate...
- No. that's unfortunate... the parachute didn't open.
-> that's unfortunate...
- No. that's fortunate... because the plane was low enough and there is a huge haystack directly under you that can break your fall without killing you!
-> that's fortunate...
- No. that's unfortunate... because there is a pitch fork in the middle of the haystack.
-> that's unfortunate...
- No. that's fortunate... you miss the pitch fork!
-> that's fortunate...
- No. that's unfortunate...
... ... ...
you miss the haystack.
