Well St. Patrick’s Day is approaching and I sure could use some luck! Yeah it seems I’m out of luck, or maybe just having a streak of bad luck, whatever it is, it sucks!
What the hell is luck anyways? It’s really odd that one day you can have the best of luck and the very next day have no such luck! Or have a moment of pure luck then end up a couple days later with rotten luck! Is luck like milk? Does it have an expiration date and if so why isn’t it FDA approved and labeled properly? Sheesh!
Luck isn’t anything you can see, yet you can recognize it, it isn’t something you can taste, unless you’re sitting down to a POT luck dinner, and it isn’t something you can hold in your hand, even though you can FEEL lucky and sometimes you can GET lucky, (my favorite luck)!
Beginners luck isn’t the same as having a streak of good luck, but you can have a streak of good luck while you're having beginners luck, and after your beginners luck runs out it can’t be repeated but you can have several streaks of good luck and be considered a lucky dog! I used to have a lucky dog until I accidently spilled Spot remover on him, now he’s gone!
Sorry about that Spot!
You can also have several streaks of bad luck which is sort of like being down on your luck but mostly considered tough luck and having the luck of dirt! During these times you can want to push your luck, and you’ll get a ‘don’t push you’re your luck’ warning message that someone is getting aggravated, giving you the chance to just shut up!
You can try your luck but it’s nothing like [/ezcol_1half]
trying on a pair shoes, and if you luck out it doesn’t mean you're out of luck at all! You can be lucky or unlucky whether you're in or out of luck and having the luck of the draw can be good or bad luck depending on whether you're playing cards or having a duel at thirty paces!
As luck would have it you can be down on your luck but have better luck next time, you can have more luck than sense which doesn’t mean you have lots of luck at all, and when you say “just my luck” you're describing being unlucky but it doesn’t mean you’re having bad luck, and having a stroke of luck doesn’t paralyze you on one side!
We associate luck with the Irish and St. Patty’s Day but as it turns out lucky leprechauns have absolutely nothing to do with St. Patrick’s Day… none, zip, nada, oh no and uh uh! And Ireland hasn’t been so lucky throughout history, they’ve had horrible luck, so I really don’t get the association!
You can’t get green beer, or any other green “Social Lubricant” on any other day, except maybe an asparagus milkshake now and then, and female leprechauns are not represented anywhere, and that’s because they're fairies and you can’t see them, unless of course you really do drink an asparagus milkshake!
And from now on if I want to wish someone good luck I'm just going to say “LUCK YOU” and give them a thumbs up, or just say “LUCK YOU” but use a different finger to show them any other meaning!
