Since two months ago, Andres lost
the contact of Penelope Diaz, who was his high
school dream lover (
see
Vol. 71), he has been upset by his bad
luck. Today, Peter has asked him to have lunch
with
him at the cafeteria on campus. And when they
are queuing for taking their food, he is again
complaining to Peter about what he has encountered.
Andres:
I think I'm really jinxed for
my whole life.
Peter:
What's going on?
Andres:
Last Saturday night, I went to attend a friend's
house-warming party.
At the party, after some long hard searching
for someone whom I
might get interested in having a chat with...
Peter:
Long hard searching? Is that a party or a parade?
Andres:
Let me finish please, Mr. Humour......Then, I finally
met a girl, and we really had a good chat. So,
before she left, I asked for her digits. But because
my mobile's battery was flat,
I jotted it down on a piece of tissue
paper. And then,
when I was on my way home, the night was really cold,
which made
my nose run, and
awfully stuffy, and
I couldn't stop sneezing.
And then I accidentally used the tissue that had her
digits to blow my nose (sigh....)
Peter:
You can just ask your friends if they know the girl!
What are you whinging about?
Andres:
Be patient, my miserable story isn't over yet.
Peter:
Ok, I'm ready to roll my tears down.
Andres:
And then last Thursday night, when I was having my
shifts at the pizza store, an urgent
order come in, so I rushed out to deliver the pizzas.
Then when I was wheeling the
pizza car out of the car park, I mistakenly pushed
down the accelerator, and crashed onto my own car,
right onto the front
hood.
Peter:
You what! Can I ask how urgent the order was? Were you
delivering to a refugee camp in Africa?
Andres: And what's even worse
was that, for the insurance, I had to sue the pizza
store's driver for the compensation.
Peter:
Woo! You've made the record to be
the only one in the history who had to sue himself.
Andres:
Yeah, I do have.
Peter:
But in some way, you're lucky to crash your own car.
If you had crashed someone else's car, that would
surely have led you on a merry
dance.
Andres:
Lucky? Then, tell me what's the odd of
suing yourself?
Peter:
Probably... never....
Andres:
See! I'm
awfully jinxed. From losing Penelope's contact to suing
myself, I don't know what to expect next........ Why
does it take so long?
Peter:
(murmuring) Something good, something awesome! Just
look ahead and be positive!
When
Peter is murmuring, Andres
is looking ahead to see how many people are before
them in the queue, and then he surprisingly notices
that the casher is....
Andres:
Penelope! That's Penelope! She works here!
Peter:
I told you to expect something good, something awesome.
Andres:
You already know she works here, don't you?
