Oh No! It's Saturday the 14th!

If there is one thing certain about a Friday the 13th, it is the fact that it is invariably followed by a Saturday the 14th! (You have my permission to quote me on that.)

This Friday the 13th was essentially uneventful for me. I was only able to find one ladder propped up against a building on a busy sidewalk. Alas, only one of the pedestrians exhibited any signs of horror when I deliberately passed under it in defiant nonchalance. If that wasn't bad enough, the small hand mirror that I purposely let fall to the sidewalk while I was under the ladder didn't break! I was even wearing my cap which bears the large number "13" on it.

I suppose there are some who might argue that those two acts cancelled out each other. Others might say that since my deliberate acts didn't achieve the desired effect, it was my bad luck.

To me stuporstitions superstitions and even the acknowledgement of them, fly in the face of wisdom and logic. We don't live in the dark ages! If you said to me that unfortunate events happen because of fate, I might accept that. However, if you suggested carelessnes, clumsiness, and plain old ignorance as explanations, you'd get an A+ on your report card if I were grading.

Here is one good thing about Friday the 13th - (it struck me as funny) this 7/13/07 Mr. Boffo cartoon:
