Inspired by Dulciana's tale (hope you don't mind inspiring a new game, Dulciana ), I've started a new game called "Fortunately....Unfortunately...." Using Dulciana's experience as a sort-of example, the game goes as follows:





The next person might write....




The next person might follow on with...




Over to the next person if anyone wants to play ....

Fortunately she was the most beautiful butterfly in the kingdom

Unfortunately everyone wanted to try and catch the most beautiful butterfly in the kingdom

Fortunately no-one knew what a butterfly looked like and so didn't know what they were catching.

Unfortunately they kept catching slugs instead

fortunately the slugs were cute and furry

unfortunately they were cute and furry man eating slugs

Fortunately they didn't eat women



(well it was fortunate for the women anyway, shame about the men )

Unfortunately all the men dressed as women so the slugs had nothing to eat

**sounds like somewhere i'd fit in fine **

Fortunately the slugs only came out in the day, so at night the men could dress like men...unless they were happy has women

Unfortunately the men who didn't dress as women became incredibly pale from lack of sunlight

Fortunately (for the men), this made them invisible to the slugs (one of which was called Cecily)

Unfortunately Cecily was a mutant slug with a highly developed sense of smell for male pheromones - even the men dressed as women weren't safe! *run!*

Fortunately all the men could run very fast and they could run well away from the slugs

Unfortunately the men were incredibly exhausted from all the running and the women had to do EVERYTHING! (same old....)

Fortunately the men recovered just in time to help the women with the last job of the day

Unfortunately that job happened to be unblocking the toilet...........

Fortunately it was only blocked with a loo roll that someone had accidentally dropped in it and it came out quite easily

Unfortunately that was the only loo roll in the house so they had to use it.....

Fortunately they all had constipation so they didn't need to use it

Unfortunately the constipation made them all very bloated and ill

Fortunately there was a vet doctor living next door who could give them pills to clear it up

Unfortunately the pills made them sprout green tentacles out of their head

Fortunately, they were also prescribed PharmAmorin, so weren't too concerned.

Unfortunately they gave the tablets to their dog by mistake




(Hope you're OK this morning Dulciana)


Edit: Glad to see you're back on form today YAP, I thought the world had come to an end when I saw your post the other day

Fortunately the dog vomited them up, so they were able to reduce/reuse/recycle...

(Good thread, Skylark!)

unfortunately as there was no one to clean (as too bloated), Prince Benny - who happened to be wandering by - slipped in said vomit

Fortunately Prince Benny's equerry was with him and managed to prevent him falling







Thank you I've got a reputation to keep up It just seems to be a bit pre-occupied with the less attractive bodily functions for some reason

**Loo rolls...constipation??? **

Unfortunately, Prince Benny did not see the open man-hole cover

Fortunately it didn't matter because the open man-hole cover was on the other side of the road

Unfortunately, Prince Benny tripped on a jagged paving stone.

Fortunately he didn't hurt himself, and under the paving stone he spied a gold sovereign that someone had dropped



(What's Prince Benny done to upset you, you've really got it in for him, haven't you... )

Unfortunately the individual who'd dropped it appeared behind him and he felt the barrel of a gun in the small of his back...

(Thinking of giving up the teaching and becoming a crime writer... )

Fortunately the individual was a bit braincell-challenged and he'd forgotten to load the gun

Unfortunately he also had at his disposal a rather menacing hatchet, which glinted in the moonlight.

Fortunately, being aforesaid thicko, he'd forgotten to take his shades off when it got dark so he couldn't see where he was aiming and he missed his target

unfortunately he hit the pavement which began to crack forming a giant abyss

Fortunately the one who fell into the abyss was the assailant and not our hero.

Unfortunately in all the excitement, our hero dropped the gold sovereign and that fell into the abyss as well

Fortunately he was rich enough not to worry about it

-

Unfortunately when he got home, he found out that his wife had run off with chauffeur and withdrawn all the money from his Swiss bank account

Fortunately there was very little money in the Swiss bank account as most of it was deposited in the Cayman Islands

Unfortunately, the Cayman Islands was about to endure through a series of stock market crashes and all his money was stored in shares...

Fortunately a rich relative died ( not very fortunate for the relative ) and left him all his property

Unfortunately the property market crashed when Madonna and other celebs started living in a tents - and everyone else followed suit (Cath Kidston made a fortune!)

Fortunately one of his businesses was a tent manufacturing company and they made massive profits

Unfotunately, it became a bit of a problem that there was no sanitation in aforementioned tents and Prince Benny got a touch of dysentry.

Fortunately, some rich passerby decided that these tents were no place for someone such as Prince Benny to dwell, and offered him a place in their mansion to stay...

Unfortunately, they had lost the front door key and couldn't get in
