Breakup Cafe

"What's wrong with me, Janny?!
 First my Boss fires me! Now you dump me!
The whole friggin' Universe hates me!
~
"It can't be that bad, Dick."
"Oh yeah! If the Universe gave me two choices,
a million bucks behind Door-1 or a tiger behind Door-2,
I'd get the friggin' tiger every figgin' time!"
~
"So, start doing the opposite of what you'd normally do, Dick."
~
"Tried that! It's still the tiger every friggin' time!"
~
"Maybe it's the tiger the Universe hates."
~
" ...Huh?"
~
"He gets you every friggin' time!"

Yes, that's the nature of us beasts, I guess.
Thanks Will :)


You make a good point here .. there is a point though isn't there where the purr becomes a growl .. poor old Dick .. he's such a p***y .. actually, you make a very good point here .. Neville

Yes, there comes a point when the Breaker's empathy for the Breakee turns to pity, Game Over.

let's call it a draw ..
Yes, think of it from the tiger's point of view.
Sanger Rainsford did in The Most Dangerous Game.
He suggested the Tiger enjoyed hunting him as much as he enjoyed hunting the tiger.

And Michael Douglas said it in The Ghost and the Darkness. ...Thanks, Ja.. read more
Liked the funny turnaround at the end. Sometimes the whiners get put in their place.
