Worst Case Scenario by Jake Renolds

You've been backing up your computer diligently for a year now because you've heard all the horror stories about computers crashing and losing everything. So, just when you think you've got all your bases covered, a burglar comes in and robs not only your computer, but your backup drive as well. Never thought about online backup, right? Next time.

You've been looking forward to your golfing trip with your buddies all week and Saturday morning is finally here. You're out on the course, hole 9 to be exact. You hit a, how shall we put it- not so accurate shot- that rolls through the trees before it lands on the other side- surprisingly closer to the hole as you'd guessed. You continue onto hole 10, 11, 12, and uh oh... your arm starts to itch. The ball had rolled through poison ivy. Didn't think to check out the shrubbery it rolled through after hole 9 right? Next time.

You finally get those tickets to the Broadway show that your wife has been begging you to get all year. She's so excited, she can hardly stand it. You show up at the theater, sit down and as the row of attendants file into the row in front of you, the woman with the beehive hairdo and her mongo husband sit directly in front of you and your wife. You can't see a thing. Next time you might consider springing for closer tickets.

It's been a long day working in the yard and you've been promising your kids a trip to the water slides and pool since they woke up this morning. You get them all dressed and in the car, pay the ridiculous entry fee (these guys are making thousands, the place is packed) You've been in the tidal wave pool for maybe 5 minutes when everyone is forced to evacuate because a baby did his business in the pool. Maybe next time you should consider building your own pool...
