    Yep, that’s just how life is. Just as soon as you think things are going your way, something comes along to crush you.

    I bet that’s the last time he reads his fortune even though
    it came true.

    Prim example / demonstration of said law !

    Hope my HMO is better than Rodney’s .
    She looks strikingly like Nurse Mildred “Big Nurse” Ratched .
    Recovery for me would be stimied .

    His nose was injured too. How painful. More painful is being served horrible Jello.

    Bung has always been “full of spirit(s)” in this strip. So, the fortune is “forth-telling” and not foretelling.

    Sir Rodney is accident prone.

    My fortune cookie said, “Hurry up and pay your bill. Other people are waiting for your table.”

    Years ago on the show “Becker” Ted Danson
    had a story about good luck/bad luck which
    he called his ‘rubber band’ theory…….
    The rubber band get’s streched out so far
    with good luck and then…wham… get’s you
    in the end…..That’s when you look up to the
    heaven’s and say…”Wow I didn’t see that one
    coming….I like your work”…

    But Rodney’s fortune came true – he is being waited on hand & foot – because he can’t move!

    Doesn’t matter if you watch where you are going. Even looking straight ahead, you’ll miss the piano falling from three stories straight up.

    Why is Bung suddenly sober in the third to last panel? Did the green tea detoxify his liver?
