The Good: You are to be knighted.
The Bad: You are caught speeding moments before the festive occasion begins. The police officer doesn't believe a word you're saying. You hand the invitation to the officer.

The Good: You are to be knighted.
The Bad: You are caught speeding moments before the festive occasion begins. The police officer doesn't believe a word you're saying. You hand the invitation to the officer.
The Ugly: Considering the invitation a crude attempt at a bribe, the officer not only tears it up but hauls you off to the police station, where you spend the next 24 hours. You never hear from Buckingham Palace again.

The Good: Your name appears in a headline in this morning's paper.

The Good: Your name appears in a headline in this morning's paper.
The Bad: They selected one of the "really bad" pictures to put with the article.
The Ugly: Then again, there aren't too many good pictures to be taken for a headline that reads "'Just Say No to Drugs' mayor caught partying with strippers, tests positive for cocaine."


The Good: While your spouse is outside doing yard work in 90-degree temps, you are relaxing in the air conditioning.

The Ugly: Your house is flattened by a hurricane and flood, and all the original copies proving your authorship are lost. You are reduced to singing the blues on a street corner.



The Good: While replacing the floor in the 19th century house you just bought, you find a collection of American Civil War coins and medals.

The Bad: You bought the house from a lawyer who claims the collection belonged to his grandparents
The Ugly: His grandparents are still alive, and they go to court and reclaim their collection. At the same time, the D.A. charges you with grand larceny.

The Good: You develop a compound that, when sprayed on a lawn, will instantly kill all weeds.

The Bad: Some damned fairy tale movie is just wrapping up on the TV and might have been blood curdling screams from that which were also in your dream
The Ugly: You realise the TV is on "mute." The "fairy godmother" isn't talking to you. She's talking to a bald, tattoo-covered psychopath standing behind you--the one who just let out the blood curdling screams.

The Good: You just found out you won two airline tickets to Puerto Vallarta!
